The rebuild of Christchurch continues post 22 February 2011 earthquake and we’ve become used to road closures, detours and long delays as ongoing repairs are made to the underground infrastructure.

When I saw this sign I thought it was a rather unique reason for a street closure as our city plays host to two high profile visitors tomorrow with the visit of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Just quietly I was relieved to think the royal visitors wouldn’t have an  impact on my commute to work, as traffic delays have become the bain of our lives in Canterbury!
