THIS WEEKEND

Addington/Riccarton: Blenheim Road at Division St, expect delays Friday night 7 pm

SCIRT’s Fulton Hogan team will be doing wastewater repairs at the intersection of Blenheim Road and Division St, (between Matipo and Clarence St/ Whiteleigh Ave, leads to back of Westfield Mall) this weekend.

From 7pm, Friday 15 May until 6pm, Sunday 17 May:

• there will be no entry from Blenheim Road to Division St

• Blenheim Road will be down to one lane city-bound past the work site.

Work will be carried out at night as well as during the day to minimise the traffic impact, and because flows in wastewater pipes are lower at night.

ARANUI and WAINONI

Aranui and Wainoni are the busiest parts of Christchurch in terms of SCIRT work sites currently, thanks to the more resilient vacuum network going in place. Thanks to everyone for taking it slowly on detour routes. Crews are currently working hard to get Pages Road reopened past Shuttle Drive to Shortland St early in June.
