Kia ora Gene and Matthew,  

This email is to provide you with the latest update on Whakawhirinaki, the Silverstream pipe bridge project.  
 
The works to connect the pipe bridge to the drinking water network are now scheduled to start from mid-September. 
 
This means the cycling route heading north, adjacent to SH2 at Silverstream will be closed from 14 September until early October. 

While this route is impacted, we’re encouraging you/cyclists to opt for alternative routes for your/their commute (map attached):

• Road bikers are advised to get off at Kennedy Good Bridge (Avalon) and use Harcourt Werry Drive, Taita Drive and Eastern Hutt Road   

• Bikes that can manage a gravel trail can cross the Manor Park Pedestrian Rail Bridge and then use the track past the Manor Park Golf Course 

 
Cyclists can also use the train service between Manor Park and Silverstream. Trains are running as per usual between from 14 –19 September, with some partial or full bus replacements following this. 
 
For the full bus replacement schedule during the works, check out MetLink’s webpage.  
 
Please plan ahead and use alternative travel options or cycling routes. If you could share this information with the wider cycling community through your own channels, that’d be great!

For more information on the project, head to the project page. We’ll be providing regular updates before and during the works to keep you informed. Please let me know if you have any questions. 
 
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
