Madras Street Set to Reopen Tomorrow
One of Christchurch’s main one-way streets will reopen fully tomorrow for the first time since February 22 2011, and the move will be celebrated with a cycle “race”.
The remaining section of Madras Street between Tuam St and Latimer Sq will be opened to traffic from 3.30 tomorrow, Sunday April 29.
A temporary road has been constructed through an empty site to divert the traffic around the cordon on the corner of Cashel and Madras streets.
At 3pm tomorrow, CERA chief executive Roger Sutton, the Mayor Bob Parker, and CERA GM of Infrastructure Richard MacGeorge will cycle from Latimer Sq to the Tuam Street corner, before declaring the road open.
Media are welcome to position themselves at either end of the short “race”.
