KiwiRail will begin upgrade work on rail-crossings in Carterton on Tuesday 12 November.

Kent Street will be first, with the rail-crossing area to be closed to traffic until 21 December. The road will reopen for the holiday period and close again on 14 January.

Works are expected to be complete around 28 February.

Upgrade works will include barrier arms, installation of centre islands and improvements to bells and flashing lights.

We’ve added information about these works to our website, including detail around the permanent closure of rail-crossings on Victoria and Rhodes Streets: cdc.govt.nz/services/roads-and-streets/kiwirail-rail-crossings/

These works are part of KiwiRail’s expansion of the Wairarapa Line to accommodate more train services to and from Wellington.

If you have any additional questions, or would like to learn more about the project as a whole (Wairarapa-wide), please visit: www.kiwirail.co.nz/our-network/our-regions/wellington/wairarapa-line/

Waste of money. All the bells, whistles, lights, barriers etc, mean nothing if people are unattentive on a crossing. Rather than just add 2 more trains per day with a cattle scoop on front

The way kiwirail are going we probably won't get new trains until about 2050 or Willis might just cancel this project as well

It's Guy Fawkes tonight, and while there have been a few eager households going early, we expect there'll be a number of backyard fireworks displays this evening.

Keep your pets indoors where you can and pop on the radio or tv to help mask any noise. You could even tune in to RNZ Concert from 6pm tonight (until midnight) and listen to their special broadcast of animal-friendly music designed to soothe your pets.We’ll be hearing the pops and bangs of fireworks around the country tonight in celebration of Guy Fawkes Day. For many animals, this will be incredibly stressful and overwhelming.

That’s why, from 6PM to midnight, we’re collaborating with RNZ Concert to broadcast our Concert for Animals – an evening of pet-friendly music designed to soothe your animal friends. Tune in wherever you listen, and find out more here: www.spca.nz/news-and-events/news-article/spca-concert-radio-guy-fawkes
