Christchurch City Council are about to commence a large wastewater upgrade in Ilam that will affect access to and from the University Campus.
Works covering the area from University Drive / Clyde Road through to Maidstone /Waimari Road intersections will be completed in three stages between September 2024 and May 2026.
We will endeavour to keep you informed about each major stage as this project progresses, and if there is anything we think you may want to know along the way we will post a notice to inform you.
