St Asaph
Street, Central City
One lane is closed on St
Asaph Street between Durham Street and Montreal Street.
SCIRT’s Downer team started wastewater repair work on 20
May, which is expected to take around a month. They are
working on the south side of the street first and then will
move to the north side. There will be no parking available
around the work site.
Gould Crescent, Alport
Place and Ferry Road, Woolston – night work
• There will be a one-way system on
Ferry Road heading towards Ferrymead,
between Palinurus Road and the Dyers Road roundabout,
while wastewater repair work is carried out on Gould
Crescent, Alport Place and Ferry Road.
• The
one-way system will be in place on weeknights only, between
7.30pm to 6.00am, until 5 June.
Marriotts
Road/Rookwood Ave, North New Brighton
On
Thursday 28 and Friday 29 May Rookwood Ave is scheduled to be closed
between the Keyes Road roundabout to Marriotts Road
while road repair work is carried out. There will be a
detour in place via Bowhill Road, Palmers Road and Bower
Ave.
ONGOING WORK
Aranui,
Wainoni – high-vis central
Aranui and Wainoni
are the busiest parts of Christchurch for SCIRT this year,
because of the more resilient vacuum wastewater network
going in place. Thanks to everyone supporting local
businesses and taking it slowly on detour routes.
•
The one-way system southbound on Breezes Road
between Shortland Street and Cuthberts Road has now been
extended to the roundabout at Dyers Road. This will be
in place until around mid-June and means drivers can’t
head towards Aranui via Breezes Road from the Dyers
Road/Bridge Street roundabout.
• The one-way
system eastbound on Eureka Street, between Rowan Ave and
Cheriton Street, will now be in place until mid-June.
This is for safety reasons, while SCIRT installs the final
two vacuum chambers at the Rowan Ave and the Cheriton Street
intersections, and while Enable is also working in the
area.
• A temporary road closure will be in
place on St Heliers Crescent between Guernsey Street
and Woodlands Place from next week for about 10
days.
• Breezes Road is now one-way from
Wainoni Road to Pages Road.
View the Aranui map on SCIRT’s website for more information on street closures and one-ways in the area. This map is updated regularly.

Sparks Road, Hoon Hay
Sparks Road is one-way, westbound only from

is via Maryhill Ave off Sparks Road. There are two schools
in the area, please watch for children.
Hills
Road, Edgeware – northbound only between Dudley St and
Guild St
Drivers heading into town along Hills Road, south of Shirley Road,
should expect to follow a detour for the next few weeks
along Guild, Slater and Dudley streets. There are no
right-hand turns out of:
• Edgeware Road onto
Hills Road
• Hills Road onto Dudley
Street
• Dudley Street onto Hills Road.
There may be additional delays on Hills Road during peak hours and we suggest allowing extra time for your journey or taking an alternative route.
Madras Street,
Central City
SCIRT is currently doing road
repairs on Madras Street. During this work Madras Street,
between Armagh Street and Kilmore Street will be reduced to
one lane. Traffic is likely to build up during peak times in
this area. We suggest allowing extra time for your journey
or take an alternative route.
Thanks to
everyone who is planning their journeys especially at busy
times and driving outside the peaks wherever possible. The
best place for traffic news is the Transport for
Christchurch web site for updates and maps showing
one-ways and road
works.
