Christchurch Rails Cross Upgrade Approved | Christchurch News

Christchurch councillors just approved a major safety upgrade for Scruttons Road’s railway crossing in Ferrymead, slashing costs from $7.2 million to just $2.7 million thanks to KiwiRail’s streamlined contribution and alignment with their nearby Chapmans Road project. The new design includes double gates and two shared paths connecting to the Heathcote Expressway Cycleway, boosting safety for walkers and cyclists while saving taxpayer cash — a win for both infrastructure and budget.
