Road tunnel delays likely
The Lyttelton road tunnel will be closed at times today so that giant storage tanks can be taken to the new liquefied petroleum gas depot at Woolston. About 10 tanks, weighing 47 tonnes each, have been unloaded at Lyttelton for the depot. The Automobile Association (Canterbury) has warned motorists that the tunnel might be closed for 10-minute to 20-minute intervals.
A Ministry of Works and Development spokesman said last evening that the work would be timed to avoid rush-hour traffic and might have to be spread over a few days.
