Details
What are we doing?
Between Wednesday, 7 August and mid-October, we’ll be making some essential safety improvements at intersections and crossing points in Upper Riccarton, including Waimairi Road, near the Bush Inn entrance.
We’ll be making the following changes to make this area safer for everyone:
- Installing safe speed platforms on the approaches to the Riccarton Road/Hansons Lane/Waimairi Road intersection.
- Removing the slip lane from Riccarton Road onto Waimairi Road.
- Adding a new signalised crossing on Waimairi Road, outside the Bush Inn Centre.
- Adding cycle lanes on Waimairi Road (between Riccarton Road and Bowen Street) and making changes to the bus stop and parking markings.
- Installing speed humps on Angela Street, Brake Street, Leslie Street and Bowen Street.
- Installing a pedestrian refuge island on Yaldhurst Road close to the intersection with Brake Street.
- Removing the left turn slip lane from Main South Road into Curletts Road and providing a left turn
lane at the signals.
Traffic impacts:
- We’ll implement a number of traffic management layouts while the work is completed. These will be a variation of road closures, shoulder closures, lane drops and temporary on-street parking removal. Please allow time for delays and plan your trip accordingly.
- Due to the traffic volumes in this area, work will be completed at night, between 9pm and 6am.
- Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times; you may need to be escorted so please speak to staff onsite.
- Please follow the directions provided by the onsite traffic management team at all times.
- Please advise us via the contact information above if you have any specific property requirements e.g. medical visits, home help, large vehicle deliveries, planned works.
