<p>Both lanes of Hamilton&rsquo;s Resolution Drive will be closed until early next week while pavement maintenance work is completed.<br /> <br /> City Transportation Manager Phil Consedine said pavements running alongside the arterial road, in the city&rsquo;s northeast, are being strengthened through a cement stabilising method. The work is part of a renewal programme, and is done frequently on Hamilton&rsquo;s busier roads.<br /> <br /> &ldquo;Our contractor has moved quickly to do this work this week, while the weather is favourable and while traffic levels are relatively light,&rdquo; Mr Consedine said.<br /> <br /> The lanes are being closed at separate intervals for the work to be completed. The city-bound lane of Resolution Drive is the priority, and closed from Thomas Road to Wairere Drive until early next week. The south-bound lane on the same stretch will be closed later this week.<br /> <br /> Mr Consedine urged motorists to use alternative routes via River Road, Hukanui Road or Discovery Drive.<br /> <br /> &ldquo;We realise these closures may cause some inconvenience, and we apologise for that, but it&rsquo;s essential we get this work done,&rdquo; he said.</p>
