From Monday 29 July through until 23 August, there will be no exit from Knowles Street eastbound onto Cranford Street. This is due to curb and channel work associated with the Christchurch Northern Corridor (CNC) project. It will still be possible to turn into Knowles St from Cranford St. See the works notice from the CNC Alliance for details, also available at https://www.nzta.govt.nz/…/cnc-cranford-street-project-upda….
