People heading north out of Christchurch from Sunday (November 7) after 7 pm will face a short detour near Kaiapoi.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says work will be under way from 7pm to 6am in the Lineside Rd/Smith St overpass area for about five nights. Contractors will be installing temporary steel barrier to create a safe work site.

“The detour will take drivers to the Lineside Rd/Smith St offramp, across the overpass, and back onto the motorway using the northbound on-ramp,” journey manager Tresca Forrester says. “It will be well signposted.”

Temporary traffic lights on the overpass will be used to ensure safe access for drivers using Smith St and Lineside Rd, as well as the SH1 detour.

The southbound lane of SH1 will remain open, with a temporary speed limit of 50kmh past the work site.

This work is part of the SH1 Cam River to Tram Rd Safety Improvements Project, designed to improve the safety and resilience of the highway north of Christchurch.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, Rangiora Promotions has made the "heart-breaking" decision to cancel the Christmas Celebration Night, the Rangiora Toyota Santa Parade and the McAlpines Mitre 10 Mega's Christmas Party in the Park.

In a statement on its Facebook page on Tuesday, Rangiora Promotions said the team had been working hard to find a way to proceed, but had been forced to cancel the events.

"Unfortunately, much like many other businesses and events around the country, we are susceptible to the impacts of the current pandemic and it's associated alert level restrictions, the latter of which has made it logistically impossible for us to proceed as planned," it said.

"We are keenly aware of the impact the loss of these events will have on our community, as well as the disappointment our generous sponsors and supporters will feel. We are sad for all of the stall holders, float entries, vendors, entertainers and local businesses who have invested many hours and much effort. However, the difficult decision had to be made."

Let's hope these great community events can return in 2022!
