This should be good news for people turning right out of Fraser Street onto Cranford Street…

Here are some improvements coming up next week to the Cranford St – Fraser St intersection.

I’ve heard a number of locals who turn right out of Fraser St onto Cranford St have been concerned about their safety when making this turn, so this will make it much safer. Being the main access point now to Papanui Primary School, the traffic flow onto Fraser St has increased since work began on the new motorway, so I’m glad these concerns have been addressed by the team at CNC Alliance.

The work will be done at night so there will be minimal disruption to those travelling through the area next week.

Under construction: following the announcement in November last year, work is starting on the ‘Langdons Quarter’ precinct at Northlands Mall. Temporary fencing has gone up, which means it’s no longer possible to drive between the Langdons Road entrance/exit and the car park on the Main North Road side. For more info on the development see this announcement from Kiwi Property: https://www.kiwiproperty.com/northlands/news/story/announced-langdons-quarter/
