The current closure of Ring Road at Dovedale Campus will be extended to 26 April 2025.
Southbase, the contractor working on Dovedale have requested the extension to continue to maintain a safe distance/exclusion zone for pedestrians and vehicles while a crane is onsite, lifting and installing concrete precast panels on the Production and Postproduction building site (PPB).
The current closure will now also extend to Saturday, the affected hours are:
- Monday to Friday 7am to 5pm
- Saturdays 7am to 1pm
Staff, visitors and students, who usually use the Orakipaoa carpark during business hours, or on Saturdays, will not be able to park in the carpark on days that panel lifting is in progress. There will be no access in or out of the carpark during these times.
If you usually park in the carpark between 5pm and 7am and need your vehicle during one of the closure days, you will need to move your car before the carpark closure at 7am. This may apply to Halls of Residence students using the carpark for overnight parking.
If you need to access the halls by car, use the Solway Ave entrance.
Fencing will be in place during lifting hours. Outside of these days/hours, or on days lifting cannot occur due to weather, normal access will be available. The temporary fencing will be adjusted by Southbase or ҕl Security if and when access to the carpark is available.
Pedestrian access will be redirected per the attached markup.
