The Trents Road bridge being sealed
prior to opening in December.
Important times for motorway construction project
Now in its third year of construction, the Christchurch
Southern Motorway Stage 2 (CSM2) project has entered
the most important construction season yet.
With more than 215 people currently working on-site,
the project is nearly two-thirds complete. The opening
of new local road Justine Drive and the extension
of John Paterson Drive to connect up to Halswell
Junction Road happened in 2018. Extensive earthworks,
utility relocations and drainage across the
entire 14.5km CSM2 alignment have made way for all
aspects of the project to take form. Large stretches of
the alignment have been formed, sealed and landscaped.
A number of project milestones were achieved in the
last quarter of 2018. Firstly, traffic on Main South Rd
(SH1) was switched onto the new northbound lanes,
between Hoskyns Rd and Robinsons Rd.
Widening Main South Rd (SH1) to two lanes in each
direction while maintaining traffic flow is a large and
complex operation. This switch allowed construction
of the southbound lanes to commence. Following the
traffic switch, the remaining beams at the Weedons
Interchange were installed.
The first of the project’s eight bridges, the Trents Road
bridge, opened to traffic in December 2018. Trents
Road had been closed during construction of the
bridge. A temporary road at Springs Road was also
opened during November making way for the underpass
construction to commence.
Temporary roads are still operating at Halswell Junction
Road and Shands/Marshs Road, which continue
to keep traffic moving through these busy areas.
During September 2018 the first of 40 beams were
installed at the Halswell Junction Road interchange
and when completed the interchange will link motorists
with the Christchurch Southern Motorway Stage 1
(CSM1) at Halswell Junction Road.
To the side of the interchange, the extension of the
Owaka subway is nearing completion. An off-road
pedestrian/cyclist shared use path will connect the
Owaka subway to the existing Little River Rail Trail via
local roads.
A shared pedestrian and cycle path will be provided on
all local road bridges on CSM2.
Traffic management around the Shands/Marshs
interchange will continue to change as phases of the
interchange construction are completed.
Construction to connect Robinsons Rd with Curraghs
Rd by passing under Main South Rd is to commence
this year.
During 2019, access will be provided from Main South
Rd to Larcombs Rd. The final layout will see Larcombs
Rd become a cul-de-sac and Berketts Rd will be left
turn in and left turn out on Main South Rd.
From late February 2019, a series of staged layout
changes were designated to take place on Main South
Road (SH1), between Robinsons Road and Waterholes
Road as follows:.
• Construction of the Robinsons Road overpass to
commence
• Curraghs Road to be closed at Main South Road with
detours in place via local roads
• Robinsons Road to become ‘left in/left out’ to and
from Main South Rd during the overpass construction
•Main South Rd traffic to be diverted over the new
Main South Rd bridge.
