Cemetery Road Reconstruction and Safety Upgrade Project

The level of service for Cemetery Road is changing and Dunedin City Council (DCC) must undertake critical upgrade works to ensure users have a fit for purpose roading environment. We propose to reconstruct the worn road pavement to ensure a robust carriageway, renew ageing pipe work and improve usability of the road with safety improvements for the entire length of the road.

A lot of differing civil works are required to achieve this project, each having their own functionality and expected outcomes for the local and extended community. We now require a carriageway that can support access to the industrial zoned land at the end of Cemetery Road and full depth pavement construction without significantly altering the finished road level.

There are floodplains and scheduled Otago Regional Council drains that need to be protected during and as a result of the construction works. DCC drainage lines identified for renewal will also take place to minimise future excavations of the new pavement. This major disruption is a perfect opportunity to undertake school safety improvements and support access for pedestrians and cyclists.

We need a supplier who can align with our outcomes throughout the construction process and engage with the local community and other key stakeholders to maximise the benefit this procurement will bring.
