Harewood Rd is closed this morning in both directions at the Papanui Rd intersection. Emergency services are on the scene. Take care if you’re in the area & watch out for traffic disruptions.
Resurfacing on Cranford Street has been delayed by technical glitches and issues with the subsurface. The CNC Alliance has now announced that chip sealing and asphalting work is restarting. Once the west side is done, traffic will be swapped to that side while the east side is worked on. Read more in this project update:
