Borman Road connection

These works are funded by Councils 2021-32 Long Term Plan and have been estimated to cost $22.23m, which includes delivering the most recently completed North Ridge Road upgrade and connection works.

This section of road has been designated since 2004 and is highly sort after by the Rototuna community. Once complete, it will improve connectivity and accessibility for people traveling to and from Rototuna Village and the school - no matter how they choose to travel.

The project also supports Council's Vision Zero goal: that we will achieve zero deaths and zero serious injuries on our roads and the Biking and Micro-mobility plan which aims to make it more convenient for Hamiltonians to choose active modes of transport to get around our city.

Construction of the on-road sections are split up into four stages to help minimise impacts on traffic.

Yes, some sections of road may be closed to through traffic at times to complete these works more efficiently and safely. Borman Road, between Horsham Downs Road and Barrington Drive, will be closed to through traffic in late March for up to four months. Resident access will be kept at all times with a detour in place for through traffic. Once this section is complete, we will need to close other sections of Borman Road and Horsham Downs Road to complete the next stages of these works. We will provide more information about these future works before they start.

Given the limited corridor space available to construct this infrastructure, Hamilton City Council has prioritised making it safer for people walking and biking by installing shared paths and on road cycle ways, this has come at the expense of on-street parking. We understand people currently park along the roadside berm however this area is not intended to be a carpark.

The temporary gravel path will remain in place during construction, however there may be times where it needs to be moved around the works. It will stay in place until the permanent shared paths are completed.
