- Temporary road closures
Temporary road closures can be caused by:
- works such as construction, utility repairs, excavations, road resurfacing
- events such as road races, street parties, or parades
Road closures for road works
Apply for a temporary road closure or work out which type of temporary road closure you need.
Road closures for events
Road closures for events depend on the impact of the road closure on the public and properties in the area.
Advertising and signage
All temporary road closures must be advertised in advance, and pre-works signage warning the public of the proposed road closure is required.
Temporary use of legal road
Charges apply for the temporary use of legal road, such as when fences and hoardings need to occupy public roads and footpaths.
Working on the Legal Road
All work on the road reserve, road closures and traffic or parking restrictions must be approved by the Christchurch City Council prior to the work or closure.
