A temporary bridge will be installed across the Manuherekia River between Linger & Die Park on Rivers Street (across the road from Centennial Park) and Graveyard Gully Road by December 2025 to maintain traffic flow for heavy and genera vehicles during the works. 

Residents on Walton Street, Alexandra, will receive a letter regarding parking spaces outside their properties. See letter here: Letter to Walton Street residents
