Night works on Lincoln Rd
Part of Lincoln Rd will be restricted to one-way, city-bound traffic overnight for nearly a week as work to install peak-hour bus lanes continues.
The restrictions will be in place between Whiteleigh Ave and Moorhouse Ave from 7pm to 6am from Sunday, September 18 while the road is resealed. Detours will be in place.
The work is expected to be completed on Friday, September 30 - if the weather is good.
Work to remove the old road surface will be done during the day, but the road will be open to two-way traffic as normal then.
New line marking will also be added to the westbound lane on Moorhouse Ave between Selwyn St and Lincoln Rd.
Christchurch City Council head of transport Lynette Ellis said the work was happening at night "because we want to cause the least amount of disruption".
The roads
are being resealed as part of a bigger project to install peak-hour bus lanes along busy Lincoln Rd to improve the reliability of bus services to and from the fast-growing southwest of Christchurch.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
