A number of other projects will also be carried out, including improvements to the Skew Bridge located in West Kaiapoi and work for the Rangiora Eastern Link Road.
The plan is intended to improve transport in the Greater Christchurch area. The existing facilities are no longer able to cope with demand and the work will help cut congestion and reduce journey times. The population is expected to grow by 150,000 over the next 30 years, reaching around 640,000. Public transport will play a key role, though existing roads will also be improved.
