Armagh St (park) bridge reopening for Spring – thanks everyone

Just in time for Spring, the Armagh Street Bridge will reopen to motorists on 1 September. This will restore access to the Botanic gardens carpark so the temporary accessway put in past the croquet and tennis clubs from Riccarton Ave will go back to normal from Monday 7 September.

SCIRT’s McConnell Dowell team wants to give special thanks to the public, nearby businesses and park users for their patience and support while essential earthquake repair work was completed on the 130 year old bridge.
