Work begins again in City Mall

6 January 2009

Work is starting again in City Mall with the removal of the Cashel airbridge and continued construction.

Project City Mall took a five-week break over the busy Christmas holiday, to make way for shoppers in the Central City. The construction team is moving back on-site this week.

Work will begin on Cashel Street in the area outside Shades Arcade – picking up from where the team left off in November last year.

The airbridge over Cashel Street, between The Triangle Centre and the food court in The Crossing, will be removed soon. This follows last year’s removal of the High Street airbridge. The removal will take around three days, and it takes several weeks to rebuild the properties on either side.

Project City Mall Director Sean Whitaker says work progressed quickly and on schedule last year, and he expects the same results this year.

“We are working closely with retailers in City Mall to ensure as little disruption as possible while work is carried out,” he says.

“Feedback from them and the public has been positive about the new-look mall, which is really starting to take shape.”

The project will be completed by 30 November 2009.
