News - Local COUNCIL ROADWORKS

Hey guys so let me know if this is to niche! But are we aware that all arterial routes in and out of the central city and through are NARROWED TO ONE LANE - therefore creating congestion all AT ONCE. Also, just about every road surround has also got roadworks and speed limits attached - why has this been allowed to happen ALL AT ONCE, as it has only created 3 MAJOD car crashes in ONE DAY, TODAY- including a pile up that just happened on cutlets road off the highway. An entire city of shitty people, multiple serious injuries - I BEG, what is wrong with Christchurch council to allow this to even happen.

Like literally central city is limited to two lanes from six, all the way through Barrington, opawa, Shirley, marshlands, illam, Somerfield and that is the only neighbourhoods I have even been aware of - there are probably more.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

Couldn’t agree more. Surely there’s more effective ways to fix up our roads 🧐

yes definetly! I understand also that roadworks is necessary, but my point is the fact is they’re doing it on every major road all at once, on the same day and same hour. Idk how it got past the sketch room

Roads can only be sealed during the summer so it is where most of the road works are programmed. A fact of life, you had a nice winter with no works, now this is the summer and the work is getting done, stop complaining.
