Project update


	New dates for - Surfacing work at the QEII Drive/Main North Road Intersection From Friday 15 May till Monday afternoon 18 May, we will be resurfacing the westbound lanes on QEII Drive near the Main North Road intersection. Throughout this weekend, westbound traffic will be reduced to one lane just before the intersection traffic signals and this may well increase queueing times. If you are travelling in this area, expect delays and please slow down near the work site and take extra care. There will be a temporary 50km/h speed limit in place during our work and once this area is opened to traffic and while the gravel remains loose the speed limit will be reduced to 30km/h. Over the weekend there will be times when it looks like we are not working but the road is still narrowed - this is when the cement is hardening, which takes one or two days. We will apply the asphalt layer in about a year, after the chip seal has been worn in. As this work is weather dependent it could take another day. More info here


	Night work on Tram Road and Tram Road Off-ramp Nightly from Sunday 17 May to Friday 22 May 8pm to 5am, we will be installing ducts under Tram Road for future traffic signals. The Tram Road southbound on-ramp will be closed each night and traffic using Tram Road will be managed with stop/go controls. Expect delays of up to five minutes on Tram Road. Tram Road traffic wanting to access the motorway southbound will need to divert to Main North Road. During the work there is no right turn from the Tram Road off-ramp. If heading to Kaiapoi please use the Ohoka Road exit. During this night work there will be a temporary 30km/h speed limit. More info here


	QEII Drive cycle path detour will need to stay in place for a bit longer yet We hope to have the QEII shared cycle path open again between mid-July and early August. I'm sorry we can't be surer of an exact date. The Covid-19 shutdown came just at the end of the summer sealing season and while this work can be done in winter and seal applied, on warmer days (over 10 degrees), bad weather can also set us back a few steps as well.


	Council working near Cranford Street The Christchurch City Council has a number of contractors working in the area around Cranford Street and on Cranford Street south of Innes Road. Over the next few weeks, they will also have contractors applying some red coloured surfacing on the local road around Cranford Street. This is being installed to compliment the new 40km/h speed signage that has been put up recently. To do this work, they will be setting up short term one-way systems. They will only need to be in place for a few hours at a time. The typical setup will look like the picture below. For more information on this work you can contact Dave Duff at 021 302 316 or daved@ttm.co.nz
