Crown Range Stabilisation Works
Crown Range Stabilisation
Works
Crown Range Road users are being
advised to leave a little earlier with short delays likely
due to stabilisation work.
Improvements are being
made to the stability of the land beside four sections of
the road between Eastbourne Road and the Cardrona Hotel,
with the road reduced to one lane in places. Traffic lights
have been installed and while delays at each site will be
short, motorists are being advised to factor extra travel
time into their journeys.

Council general manager infrastructure Erik Barnes said
every effort was being made to minimise disruption to road
users.
“Our contractors are very aware of the
need to keep traffic flowing and they will be making sure
that the delays are kept to a minimum while this vital
safety work is being undertaken,” he said.
“In
the meantime, people should add an extra ten minutes to
their travel time to be on the safe side.”
The
work is underway now and is scheduled to end in
mid-June.
