Proposed Temporary Road Closure - Murphy Street
Nelson City Council has received a proposal from Fulton Hogan to temporarily close the following road/s to ordinary traffic between the dates listed below:
Murphy Street – full length
Thompson Terrace – full length
Ariesdale Terrace – full length
Intersection of Murphy Street and Jenner Road
Date and time of scheduled closure: Monday 17 March to Tuesday 18 March 2025 – 7:00 am to 6:00 pm
Contingency dates and times when closure may occur: Wednesday 19 March to Monday 31 March 2025 – 7:00 am to 6:00 pm (weekdays only)
The closure is for chip sealing on Murphy Street
- Vehicle access for residents/businesses, couriers and home help will be available, but please be prepared for delays.
- The roads will be closed in two stages to minimise disruption – work will begin at the Southern end (with access to Thompson Terrace and Ariesdale Terrace closed first). As the work progresses along Murphy Street (following the application of the first layer of chip) access will be provided where possible. Please follow the signage and directions from onsite staff.
- No roadside parking will be available on Murphy Street. Rubbish and recycling bin collection will be managed by onsite staff and pedestrian access will be provided safely.
To understand how this closure could impact residents/businesses, Council is seeking feedback on this proposal by 7 March 2025.
