Major Cycleway - Nor'West Arc Route (Section 3) University to Harewood
The Nor'West Arc Te Ara O-Rakipaoa cycleway provides a safer route for cyclists to get to school, university, work and local shops.
This is a $15.7M transport project in Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood, Christchurch, currently in progress.
The Nor'West Arc Te Ara O-Rakipaoa cycleway provides a safer route for cyclists to get to school, university, work and local shops. Making it safer for people to bike helps reduce congestion, lowers emissions and makes it easier for cyclists to get around. This project is for one of the three sections of this cycleway, and runs along Ilam Road, from the University of Canterbury to Aorangi Road, near Jellie Park. The cycleway will eventually extend to Harewood Road.
Why This Project Matters
Transport infrastructure keeps Christchurch moving and safe. This $15.7M investment is part of the council's programme to maintain and improve roads, paths, and public spaces for Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood residents.
