New $125m overbridge plans released for Rolleston, Canterbury

The Team Reporter from The Press

From reporter Tina Law:

New plans have been released for a $125 million overbridge and safety improvements on State Highway 1 at Rolleston, south-west of Christchurch.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency announced in July last year it wanted to build a flyover across the highway linking the residential and industrial sides of the growing town.

Following consultation Waka Kotahi has changed its plans and it is now proposing a more direct flyover between Rolleston Dr North and Jones Rd rather than the angled or skewed option it consulted on last year.

It is also looking at adding more highway access points to ease travel and improve efficiency at the Weedons interchange.

Vehicles heading to Christchurch can take a free turn left onto the highway from Hoskyns Rd, after the rail crossing. Drivers from Christchurch can take a new off ramp to Rolleston and loop back over the flyover to Jones Rd.

Waka Kotahi is seeking community feedback on the plans from now until July 22.

🎭 Tricky, Twisty, and Totally Fun—Let’s Riddle! 🤹‍♂️

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I bring people together, though I’m not alive;
I’m small but vital, helping communities thrive;
I’m often green, sometimes blue or red—
without me, connections might be dead—
What am I?
