Better streets & spaces  |  8 May 2020

A time-lapse video taken by contractors Fulton Hogan has captured the final push to complete the road works along busy Riccarton Road.

After spending months working to replace underground pipes and rebuild the road between Harakeke and Matipo streets, Fulton Hogan on Sunday began the job of resurfacing the road.

They worked through the night, completing the task in the early hours of Monday morning.

“We’re thrilled to have the new seal down and the road works largely completed,’’ says Christchurch City Council Transport Planning and Delivery Manager Lynette Ellis.

“The disruptive elements of this big project are now all behind us.  All that is left to be done is the bus lane markings and some landscaping.’’
