Changes to Crescent Street/Wensley Road Intersection – It's Happening Now

Wednesday 21 September 2011

Changes to the Crescent Street/Wensley Road and Crescent Street/Blair Terrace intersections have started.

Earlier this year Tasman District Council approved the partial closure of Crescent Street at the Wensley Road intersection. Only traffic from Wensley Road will be able to turn into Crescent Street whilst traffic on Crescent Street will no longer be able to enter on to Wensley Road. This partial closure will also alter the traffic flow and traffic movement at the Blair Terrace/Crescent Street intersection.

Work has begun to alter the intersection priority control at Blair Terrace/Crescent Street including new road markings and some parking restrictions on Crescent Street near Shearer Terrace.

The new priority route will be along Blair Terrace and right on to the northern leg of Crescent Street and vice versa. Vehicles travelling along the western leg of Crescent Street from Wensley Road direction will be required to give way at this intersection.

Work at the Wensley Road/Crescent Street intersection will commence on Monday 3 October 2011. Minor interruptions to Wensley Road traffic turning into Crescent Street are expected during this construction phase.

Council apologises for any minor delays to motorists while these works are carried out.
