Dear Resident,  

The Christchurch City Council would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience over the last 10 weeks. Your support and collaboration have helped the contractor, CORDE, achieve some key milestones in the project.

Progress to date has included stormwater piping and new water supply piping being completed, then kerbs and footpath completed for one side of the street.

As we have all noticed it’s been a challenging winter period with adverse conditions. There have been delays but we are actively trying to mitigate these and stay on track for our mid October goal.

The current change from a one-way system to a road closure in the traffic management arrangement is the one of the key step to mitigate the issues to date.

August and the start of September will see CORDE excavate and construct the entire road footprint. Amendments have been made to the road design that takes into consideration the winter wet conditions so this will enable the CORDE to stay on track. As the road construction continues it will be quickly followed by a new kerb and channel and footpath construction down the East side of the street.

Corde will continue to keep you informed about their day to day activities on site and how they will impact your property access.
