Trams now continue travelling from the corner of Manchester St along High St, up Tuam St and turning into Poplar St before heading back down Lichfield St.
Christchurch City Council head of transport and waste management Lynette Ellis said the project had "really added to the special character of High St".
A new tram stop and shelter had also been installed at the intersection of Tuam and High
streets intersection
The life-sized bronze corgis that were installed in High St
in 2003 to mark the Queen’s golden jubilee have been moved to sit
beside the new shelter.
Jewel Lewis, 78, made the most of her time hunkering down at home during Covid to create a special tribute to Christchurch's tram.
"Forty years ago, while driving down the long drive into the Canterbury Sun Club at Rolleston, I was always taken with an old tram sitting in a paddock and used as a shed. Our Pop was particularly fond of it as he used to drive the same tram on the Sumner route many years before," she said.
"It has since been on my bucket list to replicate this in miniature and I have finally done so. I researched it, drew up all the plans ... and sent it through to my 85-year-old friend who has a laser cutter in his back shed."
She then made kits for her miniaturist-loving friends. The photos below show one tram in pristine form "as a lady shed snug" and one in "bashed form where it turns into an old decrepit shed".

Building the 30,000-seat covered stadium will now cost up to $683 million – $150m more than the $533m budget.
If Christchurch city councillors push on with the current design, they will have to underwrite an extra $150m, taking their total contribution to $453m.
Some city councillors say it is time for neighbouring councils to offer a helping hand.
The stadium would be a regional facility and its economic benefits would go beyond Christchurch, a council spokesperson said.
Other Canterbury councils have been contacted about the latest cost blowout and the city council intends to hold further discussions before making a formal proposal, the spokesperson said.
One mooted method is a regional targeted rate, which could be administered by Environment Canterbury.

THE 20th CENTURY: THE PICTORIAL HISTORY (Published 1989) (560 pages) This monumental volume provides a complete pictorial record of our century year by year. Drawing on the resources of one of the world’s largest picture libraries, it presents a superlative collection of over 1,500 photographs, accompanied by an authoritative and lively text which describes the key events of the last 89 years – from the relief of Mafeking and the death of Queen Victoria to the Chernobyl disaster and the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. The book covers not only the military and political events that have made headlines throughout the world, but also has international milestones in the arts, sciences, exploration, sport, and daily life. Each decade has its own introduction, highlighting the major themes – socialism, nationalism, fascism, civil rights – so that the reader can trace the social and political developments that have taken place. Each year begins with a short chronology of important events worldwide, and goes on to highlight major themes.
