Resurfacing work on State Highway 1 at Hornby from next week will mean night closures and detours required of road users in Christchurch.

From Wednesday 19 November to Monday 24 November, SH1/Carmen Road is due to be closed in both directions, from Main South Road to Waterloo Road, between 9pm and 5.30am the next day.

While these night-time closures are in place, a detour will be available via Waterloo Road, Racecourse Road, Lowther Street and Main South Road.

Following the completion of this work, on Tuesday 25 November and Wednesday 26 November, SH1/Main South Road between the intersections of Shands Road and Chalmers Street is scheduled to close each day in both directions from 12am through to 5am for resurfacing (finishing up 5am Thursday morning).

For these closures, the detour will be via Parker Street and Waterloo Road.

People should plan their journeys accordingly and allow extra time for travel. We thank people in advance for their patience and understanding while this important and necessary work is carried out.
