• Colombo St historic bridge repairs (near the Town Hall)
Morning, 10am – 12pm. Free parking in the empty lot on Kilmore St near the bridge. You will be escorted onsite from Cambridge Terrace. There is lots of history associated with this site as outlined in our earlier web story. http://strongerchristchurch.govt.nz/article/colombo-st-bridge-find-william-neighbours-1800s-bricks-unearthed

If you are coming, wear sturdy shoes and sensible clothing as you will be on a work site which may be rough underfoot. A huge thanks to SCIRT's Downer team for setting up three sites so close to the end of the year.
