First shipment
The first container of timber has arrived in Lyttelton and is clearing customs as I write.
This container is planks for the decking (mostly the platforms). This shipment contains around 844 linear metres of 4.2-metre-long planking.
Timing of road closure
Today, we caught up with the project manager for HEB. The traffic management plan has been approved and they’re currently waiting for ECan to approve the construction management plan. Depending on how long that takes, it’s likely that closure of the road to vehicles will begin around 24 to 26 August, followed by site set-up in early September.
We’ll keep you posted!
