PROPOSED NORTHERN HIGHWAY FROM CHRISTCHURCH.—The National Roads Board yesterday approved an eight-year scheme for a northern outlet from Christchurch. This provisional plan shows the approved route from Chaneys Corner to State highway 72, east of Rangiora. The route from Christchurch to Chaneys Corner is tentative and is not included in the authorised project, while the extension from State highway 72 to the Ashley river bridge will not be made until after 1969. However, the present scheme provides for the improvement to four lanes of the existing State highway from Cranford street, through Belfast, to Chaneys Corner.
