Travel planning advised ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 opening event
The opening event of the ICC
Cricket World Cup 2015 New Zealand is now only three days
away and travel planning for the day will be crucial in
minimising the impact on journey times on the day.
The ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 Opening event in North Hagley Park on Thursday 12 February, starting at 6.30pm, will see higher volumes of traffic on Central City roads, particularly around North Hagley Park.
Christchurch Transport
Operations Centre (CTOC) Manager Ryan Cooney says it is
imperative that both those attending the ICC Cricket World
2015 opening event on Thursday 12 February and regular
commuters, stay ahead of the game and plan their journey
atwww.tfc.govt.nz "We're asking
people to do something different that day. If you work in
the Central City and plan to go the event, consider staying
in the city and walking to the event. If you're coming to
the event later in the day, parking is available in North
Hagley Park and surrounding areas where we would encourage
people to park and walk to the event. "There will be
people travelling in and out of the CBD on the day of the
opening event, which will result in an increase in traffic
volumes particularly around the North Hagley side of
town. "We want to make sure everyone has plenty of time to
get to where they're going and we would encourage everyone
to plan ahead, check their intended route and allow a bit of
extra time," Mr Cooney says.
Consider doing something
different that day: For further
