Stafford Drive, Ruby Bay - closed 29 April
On Monday 29 April, the Tasman Alliance will be removing vegetation on the seaward side of the road at Ruby Bay bluffs to improve sightlines.
The work will be done under a road closure to allow machinery uninhibited access and efficient use of time. Detours will be in place - look out for signage and VMS boards providing directions and updates.
This will also affect the Route 5 eBus services. The yellow highlighted bus stops below will be closed as the bus will not be able to travel through the road closure, and the proposed detour route over Pomona Road is unsuitable for the eBus. Stops in green will remain open and available for use.
The outbound ebus last stop will be at 151 Aranui Road, the ebus will then travel back up Māpua Drive towards the Coastal Highway to rejoin the route at the Coastal Highway past the Tasman turnoff.
The inbound ebus will travel past the Tasman turnoff towards Māpua and will then travel down Māpua Drive to rejoin the route at stop 72 Aranui Road in Māpua.
Please plan your travel accordingly during this time and we thank you for your patience while we improve the safety for road users.

Champion Road raised crossing construction 15 - 24 April
This work will affect road conditions and includes a closure. Get the details here(external link).
Wensley Road will be closed for northbound traffic from the Bateup Road roundabout with detours along Gladstone Road.
Wensley Road will be open for southbound traffic travelling from Oxford Street to Bateup Road along Wensley Road.
During this time, the eBuses will not travel along Bateup and Wensley Road, but will instead detour via Gladstone Road and Queen Street. This affects the Route 2 and Route 6 eBuses. To replace these closed bus stops, the eBus will use the three existing bus stops on Gladstone Road. On weekends and public holidays, the eBus will use its normal route.
We expect this job will take up to four weeks to complete, so please consider there may be additional travel time on your journey. Thank you for your patience while we complete work to improve this busy stretch of road.
Key:
- Red line: closed road heading northbound
- Blue line: suggested detour
- Orange line: closed bus routes
- Green line: new bus route for Routes 2 and 6
- Purple squares: new bus stops for Routes 2 and 6
