Night works on Lincoln Rd

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Part of Lincoln Rd will be restricted to one-way, city-bound traffic overnight for nearly a week as work to install peak-hour bus lanes continues.

The restrictions will be in place between Whiteleigh Ave and Moorhouse Ave from 7pm to 6am from Sunday, September 18 while the road is resealed. Detours will be in place.

The work is expected to be completed on Friday, September 30 - if the weather is good.

Work to remove the old road surface will be done during the day, but the road will be open to two-way traffic as normal then.

New line marking will also be added to the westbound lane on Moorhouse Ave between Selwyn St and Lincoln Rd.

Christchurch City Council head of transport Lynette Ellis said the work was happening at night "because we want to cause the least amount of disruption".

The roads
are being resealed as part of a bigger project to install peak-hour bus lanes along busy Lincoln Rd to improve the reliability of bus services to and from the fast-growing southwest of Christchurch.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
