We're installing new power ducts to reduce future disruption to the Titahi Bay footpath and cycleway.

About the project

Wellington Electricity (we*) is your local lines company responsible for managing the poles, wires and equipment that safely deliver electricity to Wellington, Porirua, and the Hutt Valley.

We have two cables located under the proposed Titahi Bay cycleway, which are due for replacement in the next 5-10 years. To minimise future disruption to the cycleway, we're laying new power ducts which will allow for easier and less disruptive installation of cable replacements. 

The new cable ducts will be installed along the stretch of Titahi Bay Road shown below, and is planned to be completed by late December.

How the work might affect you

To keep you and our crews safe, we'll have traffic management in place along Titahi Bay Road. To minimise traffic disruption we won't begin traffic management until 9am each day, allowing peak traffic to flow towards Porirua city. During the afternoon the Titahi Bay bound lane will be prioritised as people return home from work.
