The package of projects in Canterbury helps manage growth by providing residents with safer and better travel choices, as well as improving freight links to support economic growth and the opening of the Christchurch Southern Motorway through to Rolleston.
The New Zealand Upgrade Programme (NZUP) includes six projects to support growth in the south-west sector of Christchurch and neighbouring Selwyn district, where there has been significant residential and industrial growth, including the development of two inland ports. Safe, reliable and efficient access is needed to support all the ways people want to move about and forecast growth in freight volumes.
