The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) says it is making good progress with the $122 million Western Belfast Bypass in Canterbury and has released drone footage of its recent activity.
The drone footage shows current road construction on the new Bypass situated between Johns Road and the Christchurch Northern Motorway.
The construction by contractor Fulton Hogan is part of the Transport Agency’s Western Corridor project.
The five-kilometre bypass is designed to ease traffic congestion to the north of the city and divert heavy vehicles off Main North Road. It will link the Christchurch Northern Motorway to Johns Rd just south of the Groynes recreational area, supporting access to the growing north and west of the city.
Bridge embankments and ground improvements are now well underway at the overpass locations – Groynes Drive, Dickeys Road and the new on-ramp to the Northern Motorway, which the NZTA says is easy to spot in the latest footage.
