Creating liveable and distinctive town centres is a priority for the community and Council.
Investing in our town centres is about revitalising and activating our main streets. With the Canterbury Town Centre upgrade, it’s about bringing new energy and excitement to Canterbury, and transforming it into a commercial, social and cultural heart of the City.
Overview of Project | Current Work | Contact us
The project includes:
The intersection upgrades are essential for the safety of vehicles and pedestrians. The improvements will make turning at the intersection safer for vehicles and crossing the road easier for pedestrians.
The shared path underpass upgrade will improve accessibility and safety for pedestrians and cyclists using the Cooks River cycleway. The upgrade will provide greater clearance from the bridge and ample space for pedestrians and cyclists to use the path at the same time. During the upgrade, the underpass will remain closed and Council recommends cyclists use the detour route on the map below.
To complete pavement work for the intersection upgrade, we will close Charles Street from 6pm on Thursday 26 October to 7am on Monday 30 October. We will also close one lane on Canterbury Road at night. A detour will be in place with restricted access for vehicles into Charles Street during this period.
Our work hours will be 24/7 during this closure to ensure we complete the work. We will try to keep our night work to low noise activities where possible.
Details of work activities
Road and footpath closures are expected; however, traffic controllers will be on-site to assist pedestrians and vehicles travel safely through the area. A detour will be in place (see map overleaf) for vehicles to access Charles Street via Broughton Street. There will be no parking next to the work site. Work may be loud; however, every effort will be taken to ensure the noisiest works are completed by midnight. All works are weather/site conditions permitting.
