FUTURE: An artist’s impression of the new Southern Motorway and the Main<br />

South Rd bridge, which will be open this week.<br />

Another bridge to open<br />

in motorway project<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

MOTORISTS will be<br />

allowed onto the new Main<br />

South Rd bridge from this<br />

week.<br />

The bridge near<br />

Robinsons Rd crosses the<br />

new Southern Motorway,<br />

in the $195 million project.<br />

The 130m Main South<br />

Rd bridge is one of eight<br />

bridges being built in the<br />

project. It is made of 16<br />

precast beams, weighing<br />

68 tonnes each, New<br />

Zealand Transport Agency<br />

said.<br />

Further road layout<br />

changes are also planned<br />

this week, NZTA said.<br />

Curraghs Rd will close<br />

at Main South Rd with<br />

detours in nearby roads.<br />

Robinsons Rd will<br />

become left turn in and<br />

out at its intersection with<br />

Main South Rd.<br />

Last week, the south side<br />

• By Anan Zaki<br />

THERE WILL be a<br />

changing of the guard at<br />

the <strong>Selwyn</strong> Waihora Zone<br />

Committee.<br />

Committee chairman Allen<br />

Lim called time on his<br />

position as chair after four<br />

years in the job.<br />

Mr Lim is stepping down<br />

due to taking up other<br />

commitments at the end of<br />

last year.<br />

“I was asked to join the<br />

Freshwater Leaders Group,<br />

which is an advisory committee<br />

under the Ministry for<br />

the Environment,” he said.<br />

“And there’s been a whole<br />

lot of meetings around that<br />

which has kept me busy.”<br />

Mr Lim said he is a keen<br />

promoter of the environment.<br />

“I’m outdoor person,<br />

always have been. Every<br />

weekend I can I go for a hike<br />

in the high country,” he said.<br />

“Being able to put a water<br />

of the Weedons<br />

and Main South<br />

Rd intersection<br />

was closed for<br />

six weeks.<br />

Motorists<br />

wanting going<br />

to Levi Rd from<br />

Main South Rd<br />

will now have<br />

to go through<br />

Rolleston and<br />

Masefield Drives.<br />

NZTA said the closure<br />

will allow contractors<br />

to continue building<br />

a grade-separated<br />

interchange at Weedons<br />

Rd. Following the work, a<br />

new southbound on-ramp<br />

will open to provide access<br />

from Weedons Rd to Main<br />

South Rd.<br />

Construction of the<br />

Southern Motorway<br />

stage two is expected to<br />

completed in December.<br />

Meanwhile, a digger<br />

working on constructing<br />

Geoff Griffiths<br />

bottle into a stream and<br />

drink from it, I see that as<br />

a right.”<br />

Mr Lim said it is<br />

now a good time<br />

to transition a new<br />

person into the role.<br />

A new chair will<br />

be elected at next<br />

month’s <strong>Selwyn</strong><br />

Waihora Zone<br />

Committee meeting<br />

next Tuesday.<br />

There had been<br />

both challenges and<br />

positives during Mr Lim’s<br />

time as chairman.<br />

“When I got there the<br />

limit setting process was<br />

pretty much done and<br />

dusted. But the challenge<br />

was getting those limits<br />

into words,” he said.<br />

“When the <strong>Selwyn</strong> River<br />

went dry a couple of years<br />

ago, we had a lot of questions<br />

to answer. We copped<br />

a lot of flak for that even<br />

though we couldn’t do<br />

much,” Mr Lim said.<br />

the new Southern<br />

Motorway hit an<br />

underground power<br />

cable, but did not<br />

impact the progress<br />

of construction.<br />

NZTA said the<br />

incident last Tuesday<br />

afternoon damaged<br />

the protective<br />

sheath of the 11 KV<br />

cable, but avoided<br />

the power lines, on<br />

Main South Rd, between<br />

Robinsons and Berketts<br />

Rds.<br />

The digger operator was<br />

unhurt after coming into<br />

contact with the cable<br />

NZTA principal project<br />

manager Geoff Griffiths<br />

said.<br />

Lines company<br />

Connetics carried out<br />

repairs on the day of<br />

the cable strike. Two<br />

properties lost power for<br />

five hours while repairs<br />

were carried out.<br />

Zone committee chair to step down<br />

Since then, the committee<br />

had succeeded in a<br />

project to recharge the river<br />

by using the Central<br />

Plains Water<br />

scheme.<br />

“Hopefully we<br />

will never get the<br />

river dry at Coes<br />

Ford ever again.<br />

There’s no guarantee<br />

but that’s<br />

the intention,”<br />

Mr Lim said.<br />

He said he has<br />

“thoroughly enjoyed” his<br />

time as chairman.<br />

“It’s been a real pleasure<br />

and privilege in that role.<br />

I met some really great<br />

people and lots of great<br />

farmers and great members<br />

of the community,” Mr<br />

Lim said.<br />

“I see my role as engaging<br />

with all of those people<br />

with different views and<br />

trying to come up a solution<br />

that suits everybody,”<br />

he said.<br />
