Civil Construction Services has started work on a roading and stormwater project for James St and Norrie Ave. To save costs the Waikato District Council packaged the two contracts together and called for tenders in July. Civil Construction Services was the successful tenderer. Work has started now on the James St project with the Norrie Ave project to follow early in 2015. Work on James Street of 220 metres will involve road rehabilitation, minor drainage improvements, and the construction of grass car parking areas on the berms. The Council describes the Norrie Avenue work as an ‘urban upgrade’.
