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 />

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 />
