Christchurch Southern Motorway

It links the inner-city suburb of Addington, where it starts at the western end of Brougham Street, to just north-east of the satellite centre of Rolleston in the Selwyn District.The motorway continues south-west, crossing Barrington Street (where there is an interchange) and Lincoln Road and passing to the south of Middleton.The first section of the motorway, a short two-lane arterial, opened in 1981, linking Brougham Street with Curletts Road.A 7.5 km extension of the motorway was constructed to Robinsons Road south of Templeton where it joined SH 1, which was upgraded as far as Rolleston.At the northern end, $40 million will be spent on SH 76 (Brougham Street) to prioritise north-south public transport routes, create safer, dedicated walking and cycling access, and ensuring better east-west traffic flow and capacity.
