20130211_2645_1D3-840 South New Brighton bridge damage (under repair)
Earthquake damage (that right hand abutment should be vertical with the bridge and the hand rail level). Bridge is closed to eastbound traffic (to left) and has a 3500kg weight limit as well.
The eastern approach is the same. Damage caused mainly in the 04/09/10 and 22/02/11...
The city side of the South Brighton bridge. Approaches on both sides will need extensive work before this bridge can re-open.
Bridge opened for traffic less than a week later, but still (23/09) has 30kmh speed restriction.
The South Brighton bridge abutment (city side). Bridge looks fine, just both approaches have moved A LOT!

The bridge on River Road just before the Banks Ave turn off. Looking down at the Avon River side of the Shirley Stream bridge showing how much the ground has slumped by - notice the unpainted concrete now exposed.
The bridge on River Road just before the Banks Ave turn off. The bridge approach to the left subsided. Temporary repairs have been carried out but you can still see evidence of the amount of subsidence by the traffic island in the middle of the road.
Damage to Cashel Mall, seen through the arch of the Bridge of Remembrance.
Further damage to the bank following the two quakes on 23/12/11. The sewer line broke here and was repaired (patched) by council staff on Christmas Eve. It is hard to beleve that this rock wall was level with the land here, before any of the quakes.

Canterbury Tales was a carnivalesque procession and the main event of FESTA 2013.
The small wharf area of the now gone Pleasant Point Yacht Club has already been taken over by the Pied Shags (cormorants).

Localised flooding was an almost immediate after effect of the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes. Some areas of Christchurch were submerged, sometimes for several days, f...
