More safety improvements planned for SH 58
Regular users of SH 58 between Hutt Valley and Porirua can expect to see some major changes over the next three months.
From Sunday January 10, the current safety improvement work site will be extended. The site is being extended to Judgeford and will include the closure of the eastbound passing lane near the Moonshine Road intersection.
At times overnight there may be two separate STOP/GO sites within the worksite on Sunday. During these periods, there may be delays of up to 10 minutes. The new set up is expected to be in place for three months.

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!
This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.
Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
