The early works to pedestrianise central Wellington streets as part of Let’s Get Wellington Moving (LGWM) will start on Sunday.
The works are to confirm what lies beneath the footpath and road and are part of a project to remove private vehicle access from a stretch of central Wellington streets known as the Golden Mile – Lambton Quay, Willis St, Manners St, and Courtenay Place.
LGWM programme director Sarah Gardner said the early works would be done before the main construction that will prioritise buses and pedestrians starts later this year.
“These early works will show us the actual location of utilities, the state of infrastructure, and give us geo-technical information we need to finalise planning, including types of pavers and bus stop design,” she said in a statement.
