WORK ON reinstating the
critical road link between
Sumner and Lyttelton is on
track to be finished at the end of
next month.
The road has been closed to
the public since tonnes of rock
came tumbling down onto it
from the surrounding cliffs
during the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
Said city council
spokeswoman Lynette Ellis:
“The final push is on to get the
road surface laid, the safety
barriers installed, and the line
markings done. While our
contractors are doing this work,
there will be trucks moving
through both Lyttelton and the
Redcliffs-Sumner areas.
“At the Lyttelton end of the
road, stonemasons are working
to finish the retaining walls. The

The work on Sumner Rd is
being jointly funded by the
city council and New Zealand
Transport Agency.
Ms Ellis said getting this
critical transport route between
the city and the Port of Lyttelton
reopened would be a major
milestone.
“It will make moving overdimension
freight to and from
the port much easier and it
will mean no more dangerous
goods convoys through the
tunnel,” she said.
“It will also reconnect the
communities of Lyttelton and
Sumner and open up access to

barrier
•Replacing/resealing
16,700 sq m of road
•Repairing/rebuilding 30
retaining walls, the biggest
of which is 132m long and
7m high
•Planting 30,000 plants
the Port Hills for cyclists.
“When the road does reopen,
there will be changes in traffic
patterns as some heavy vehicles
return to moving through
Redcliffs, Sumner, and parts
of Lyttelton for the first time
since the February 22, 2011,
earthquake. We will be working
with the affected communities
to let them know about the
changes.”

$2500 FROM CONCERT
Lyttelton country band The
Eastern raised $2500 for the
Seafarers’ Centre at a benefit
concert over the holidays. The
centre provides seafarers with
assistance, care support and wi-fi
so they can speak to their family
back home. The centre has had
about 10,000 visits from seafarers
docking in Lyttelton since it
opened three years ago. Lyttelton
Seafarers’ Centre Charitable
Trust chairman Reverend John
McLister said the money will
help ensure it could continue to
provide seafarers with assistance.
STATION WORK TO START
Remediation of the Little River
railway station is on schedule to
begin at the end of the month.
The work includes replacing
rotten timber, replicating the
damaged skylight that was
removed, painting the exterior,
and improving accessibility. Staff
are currently working through the
detailed designs for the repairs.
SKATE BOWL TENDERS
Tenders have been called for the
construction of the Governors Bay
Community Centre skate bowl
and pump track. Construction
is expected to start in autumn
and take about two months to
complete. The construction is part
of the upgrade of Frame Reserve.
