# Road Blockage, 30A Tomes Road, Papanui, Christchurch 8053, New Zealand

Papanui, Christchurch · filed 28 September 2026 · report 8993262
https://www.chch.live/report/8993262

> Road works for resurfacing Tomes Road and surrounding roads have caused Tomes Road to be closed off at Claremont Ave end, Rutland Street end, and Scotston Ave end, meaning my only way home was to come from Papanui Road end. Upon coming home, a demolition crew in their infinite wisdom had decided to block the road. When asked to please move their truck so I could get past to my home, they were incredibly rude and refused to move the truck, meaning I had to enter from a closed off part.
