Clifton Terrace single lane opens

A single lane of traffic was opened on Clifton Terrace yesterday following work over the weekend to clear slip debris from the road.

Work started on Friday to clear the rubble at the base of the land slip and carried on over the weekend. A temporary retaining wall has been constructed so that a single lane of traffic can be opened on the road.

The single lane of traffic is directed by temporary traffic lights.

The landslip occurred as a result of earthquakes on 13 June. Work to clear it had been put on hold because the debris was unstable and not safe to remove.

Alternative access to properties had been available from Summit Road via a single lane gravel road through Gethsemane Gardens.
