New cycleway on Ilam Rd, between Memorial Ave and Aorangi Road. Traffic Impacts – a one way system will begin on Monday 11 September – traffic will travel northbound (southbound traffic will be detoured) so there will be no access to Ilam Road from the Clyde Road roundabout. Footpath access around the work site will be maintained. Estimated completion is end of December.
