Ilam Wastewater Update 20 November 2024  

Leave a comment
Update: 20 November 2024

Updates to University Drive access from Clyde Road
We’re pleased to confirm that University Drive reopened, with some conditions, on Thursday 14 November. Please be aware of the below changes to traffic management in this area

Closure of Arts Road from Clyde Road 
As works have progressed up Clyde Road, the Arts Road entrance hass temporarily closed. 

Vehicle, cycle, and pedestrian access has been redirected from Arts Road, encouraging users to exit and enter from University Drive. The cycle lane has been moved and now sits inside cones alongside the one-way traffic lane toward Creyke Road.  

These closures are in place to allow Downer Construction to progress pipelaying further north along Clyde Road.   Okeover Stream 

Work is planned to commence around Okeover Stream (Clyde Road) in early December so a syphon system can be constructed to take the wastewater underneath. 
 
Creyke Road 
The Dormer team are continuing to lay laterals pipes on Creyke Road, ahead of the main wastewater pipe, and then constructing and connecting new maintenance holes. This is ongoing work, moving west, down Creyke Road. 

If you have any questions around the ongoing maintenance in this area, please contact fmassist@canterbury.ac.nz.


Update: 29 October 2024 

Clyde Road / University Drive footpath now re-opened 

Downer Construction are making good progress on the Ilam Wastewater Project on both Clyde Road and Creyke. 

Clyde Road – The footpath around University Drive is now open.  Work to open access to University Drive for car traffic is still on-going, and we will let you know as soon as it is open. 

Work in this area includes routine pipe laying and manhole construction with a ‘collector’ pipe being laid above the large wastewater pipe. 

 Creyke Road – The Downer team are currently laying laterals pipes, the main wastewater pipe, and constructing and connecting new manholes as they work west down Creyke Road. 

As always, thank you for your patience as Council Contractors complete these works.

Urgent tree removal has temporarily closed Forestry Road

Leave a comment

A damaged and compromised tree is currently being removed on the corner of Forestry and Creyke Roads. This is being completed today ahead of the predicted weather and potential storms over the weekend.

We anticipate this to take 2-3 hours.

UC Facilities Management Grounds staff are working with Dormer Construction Traffic Management teams to direct traffic through Arts Road onto University Drive.

This is an urgent removal after recent winds and a weak joint saw a limb fall from the tree yesterday, compromising the stability of the entire tree.

Thank you for your patience as this work is completed.
