Planned line-marking along Evans St/ SH1 in Timaru will go ahead next week, maintaining the two existing lanes (one in each direction) for the immediate future, rather than four lanes as had been signalled, says NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
This will give NZTA staff a chance to engage further with affected parties to help address some residents’ concerns around the planned four-laning, eg to put in place driveway access improvements.
The yellow dotted lines planned to allow four-lane traffic will be done at a later date, only after this preparatory work is completed.
