Cambridge Corridor Road Works

Over the next two years major road works will be ongoing along Hamilton Road and Cambridge Road to prepare Cambridge for the future developments and growth in Cambridge West. The new developments include new residential homes, Cambridge Ryman Retirement Village, a new primary school, a recreational reserve and playground and supporting underground infrastructure.

To prepare for the infrastructure and ensure the new developments connect with the rest of town in a cohesive way, we’re completing a range of roading upgrades that will see the Hamilton Road Cycleway extended, connect new subdivisions to Cambridge Road, a new 3 metre wide shared walking and cycling path, a signalised pedestrian crossing across Cambridge Road and new bus shelters for our residents and visitors.

A new central road is being constructed running north to south through the new developments and to connect these roads with Cambridge Road, a single lane roundabout will be going in at the intersection. In addition to the roundabout a new dual cycleway and underpass for cyclists and pedestrians will be established.

The road works will include:

  • A roundabout at the intersection of the Central Collector Road
  • Extend the existing Hamilton Road cycleway to link up with the new roundabout, connecting the new subdivisions and Te Awa Life Care Village.
  • New roads linking new subdivisions (C2 and C3 growth cells) to Cambridge Road
  • New 3 metre wide shared walking and cycling path on the north side of Cambridge Road
  • A signalised pedestrian crossing over Cambridge Road
  • New bus shelters
  • New kerb, channel and stormwater drainage to direct rainfall away from housing developments and roads.
  • Underpasses for cyclists and pedestrians under key legs of the roundabout

Other works include:

  • Development site for the Cambridge Ryman Retirement Village
  • Ministry of Education Cambridge West Primary School site
  • Recreation reserve and playground
  • Supporting underground infrastructure
  • Central Collector Road, running north from the C2/C3 intersection
  • North Eastern Collector road, running east/west at the northern end of the site
  • Central stormwater swales
  • New Terminal Wastewater Pumpstations
  • Stormwater reserves

The road works are expected to take 2 years and be completed by start of 2025.

Why is WDC doing this?

To connect the new developments and growth cells with the rest of the community in a cohesive and safe way. This work is really going to make it easy for existing and new residents to choose to walk, cycle or take the bus and connect with schools and the town.

See the map here.

What are the new developments?

The new developments include 2,500 new residential homes, Cambridge Ryman Retirement Village, a new primary school, a recreational reserve and playground, neighbourhood shops and supporting underground infrastructure.

How many new homes are being built?

2,500 new residential homes and Cambridge Ryman Retirement Village.

How will this impact traffic?

Motorists and cyclists can expect traffic disruption, with reduced speed limits and traffic management in place. Some impacted roads will go down to a single lane with stop/go signs in place. We’ll try to minimise disruption as much as possible but we are asking road users for some understanding and also urging them to keep speeds down

Will we see an increase in rates to accommodate costs?

No there will be no increase in rates to accommodate these road works.

What sort of infrastructure will be built to help support the new developments?

To prepare for the infrastructure and ensure the new developments connect the community with rest of town in a cohesive way, we’re completing a range of roading upgrades that will see the Hamilton Road Cycleway extended, connect new subdivisions to Cambridge Road, a new 3 metre wide shared walking and cycling path, a signalised pedestrian crossing across Cambridge Road and new bus shelters for our residents and visitors.
