Sumner Rd Closure - DG Updates

Sep 10

The Lyttelton Tunnel Authority have advised that the tunnel may be closed to normal traffic at night to allow DG Containers to travel the tunnel.

This will apply for the two weeks that the Sumner Rd/Evans Pass alternative road is closed due rock falls/blasting.

DG Classes 1, 2, 3 packing group 2 and any product with a flash point less than 23 deg will NOT be allowed to use the tunnel at all - so may be forced to stay at the port until the road is re-opened.

The process for moving acceptable DG's through the Tunnel will be on a request and permit basis - i.e. not neccesarily available every night, nor neccesarily when requested.

For specific details, options and issues regarding DGs, please contact the team at Mondiale Christchurch.
