SCIRT update – Easter weekend 2014
SCIRT work sites will close over the Easter break, but traffic management will remain in place around sites and
equipment.
Please bear in mind the next two weeks are the school holidays so watch out for cyclists and pedestrians. Major routes
should be less congested as a result.
Visiting the central city over Easter
• North and south – Fitzgerald Ave
• East and west – Bealey and Moorhouse Aves
• Park Terrace has also reopened to north bound traffic from Kilmore St
• Durham, Montreal, Barbadoes and Madras Streets will be free flowing in off peak hours.
• Barbadoes St will open up to two lanes again, between Lichfield and St Asaph, and between Chester St East and Armagh
St.
• The Colombo St bridge is now open near the Town Hall. http://strongerchristchurch.govt.nz/article/colombo-st-bridge-near-town-hall-reopens-to-traffic-before-easter
