Motorists face nine months of delays as council replaces pipes on Riccarton Rd
Hi neighbours,
Little more than 12 months ago, motorists on Riccarton Rd finally breathed a sigh of relief after years of roadworks came to an end.
But that reprieve from endless traffic jams will be short-lived – another section of the major road is about to be dug up.
A 1.7km stretch of the street will have ageing pipes and three intersections replaced over the next nine months, and the city council expects the work will cause some delays.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
