Lyttelton Tunnel night work
Thursday 12 May, 2016
NZ Transport Agency
contractors are cleaning the Lyttelton Tunnel next Thursday
night, 12 May, 8 pm through to Friday morning, 13 May, 6
am.
“This is part of standard maintenance for the
tunnel, reducing it to one lane around the maintenance
crew,” said Transport Agency Journey Manager Lee Wright.
“There will be slight delays for road users due to the
single lane operation.”
Fuel tankers and other carriers
of dangerous goods are not allowed access during this
time.
Dangerous goods transport which requires tunnel
closures will be allowed to pass through the tunnel before
and after the maintenance period:
• 7.00pm
– 8.00pm Thursday night
• 6.00am –
7.00am Friday morning
The Transport Agency apologises for
the inconvenience caused to road users, however these works
are for essential maintenance and need to be
undertaken.
Other ways to get to Lyttelton
The
alternative routes in and out of Lyttelton are via Gebbies
Pass (from or to Banks Peninsula) or over Dyers Pass Road
around the harbour (from or to Christchurch).
