From reporter Tina Law:

The cost to build a new road link in Christchurch’s west has ballooned 41% to $25 million.

The Christchurch City Council is making changes to Halswell Junction Rd at Waterloo Rd, to provide a safer, more direct route for vehicles, especially large trucks accessing a nearby industrial area.

The cost to do the work has increased by $7.25m to $25m up from the $17.75m previously budgeted and there is a risk it could increase even further.

The work, being undertaken by Fulton Hogan, involves building a new road between Foremans​ Rd and Waterloo Rd, bypassing the existing section of Halswell Junction Rd, which will become a cul-de-sac.

A new rail crossing will be built at the end of the new link and the old crossing at Halswell Junction Rd by Waterloo Rd will be removed.

KiwiRail’s portion of the project has increased by $3.97m due to the rising cost of signal designs, and materials and construction.

The remaining $3.28m increase was due to escalating utility prices, and roading construction costs, the council said.

The project is completely funded by the council, with no subsidy from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.

The work was expected to start mid-June and was expected to take a total of about 14 to 18 months.

What is Addictive Eaters Anonymous?

Addictive Eaters Anonymous (AEA) is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from addictive eating.

AEA has members who have suffered from anorexia, bulimia and binge eating. Many have been underweight, overweight or obese; others were people of average weight yet suffered with an obsession with food. Members may have used exercise and other substances to try and control their weight. Before coming to AEA, members found that they were powerless over food, and unable to stop the food obsession.
