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.

Telling lies.

Gordon from Halswell

Is it possible for people to stop calling serving people LIARS unless you have PROOF that it was a LIE.
Breaking a promise is not a LIE unless you have proof that the person knew it was not possible at the time of saying it, even then it might be misleading and wishful thinking.

Is it possible for people to stop calling serving people LIARS unless you have PROOF that it was a LIE.
Breaking a promise is not a LIE unless you have proof that the person knew it was not possible at the time of saying it, even then it might be misleading and wishful thinking.
When politicians are campaigning they say they will do all sorts of things, that is based on information they have to hand at that time.
If they win and find out their information that they based there 'promises' on were not correct, or they have to work with a coalition partner so have to modify their stance.
Lets not be so blindly judgmental and name call, just to discredit a side you do not like.
Sure, point out poor performance as long as it factually based not just for the sake of ribbing the opposition
Have a good day.

Flags across the city are being lowered to half-mast as Christchurch joins the rest of the Commonwealth in mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

The Queen, the world’s longest serving monarch, died on Friday morning at Balmoral, Scotland, at the age of 96.

In Christchurch, which the Queen visited nine times during her reign, flags are being flown at half-mast and condolence books are being opened at civic centres.

Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the Royal Family had been ardent supporters of the city, for which its residents would “always be grateful”.
