A view of the Woolston Cut excavation, looking from the Rutherford Street road bridge towards the Heathcote River. The road bridge is in use, and the Bamford Street footbridge is almost completed. The channel, a $2.7 million project of the Christchurch Drainage Board, will by-pass a loop in the river to relieve flooding. It is hoped that the 600-metre cut will be completed by May. Landscaping will take a little longer.
