Pick of the week: Construction to complete Evans Bay paths starts soon

From Tuesday 11 April, works will start to complete the 780-metre section of new walking and biking paths on Evans Bay Parade between Weka Bay and Little Karaka Bay. Wellington City Council contractor Downer will set up on site at Weka Bay and will be working on the seaward side where the previously completed new paths currently end, and work back towards the city as far as Little Karaka Bay. The work will be done in four sections over about 18 months. Read more about this project and what else is happening in the capital in this week's newsletter.
