Canterbury Street - Lyttelton - Retaining wall

Traffic Impacts 

• A lane closure will be in place along Canterbury Street on the same side of the road as the retaining wall.
• One way traffic flow will be in place for northbound traffic. Southbound traffic will be directed along Days Road.
• A footpath closure will occur where the retaining wall is being constructed on Canterbury Street.
• Pedestrian access will remain on the opposite side of the road.
• Speed limits will be reduced to 30km/h in construction areas.

How will the work be done?

• The existing stone walls will be removed and the retaining wall slope excavated to a safe angle.
• Reinforced steel will be used to construct a new framework. Concrete blocks will be used to fill the framework and complete the walls.
• The walls will then be back filled using a trench compactor.
• The kerb and footpath will be installed and a graffiti guard paint will be used to coat the wall.
