From 8 June, Christchurch City Council starts work on upgrading the stormwater culvert under Shirley Road, between Emmett St and Stapletons Road so it can handle higher flood flows.

Two-way traffic will be maintained for most of this project but please slow down. Parking on the road side will be removed to keep traffic two-way.
