Subject: Official Information request - Lyttelton Tunnel and motorway.

 

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

A fair number of months ago there was a fatal accident which damaged a
guardrail on the road over the railway. Why has this guardrail not been
repaired and when is it planned to do so?  There is at present a 70kmh
speed sign which is routinely ignored. It is also regularly blown down by
the wind.

 

Over the years lighting has been reduced inside the tunnel at all times
and the number of fittings removed resulting in vastly reduced light
levels. What are the required lumen levels inside the tunnel given it is
almost a black hole when entering particularly during very bright days?
How is this monitored and controlled? Who did the risk assessment? Please
supply a copy.

 

There used to be signs at each end of the tunnel telling drivers to turn
their park lights on. These have been removed. Why - especially
considering the reduced lighting levels? Who did the risk assessment?
Please provide a copy.

 

Workers in the tunnels during periods of maintenance. Being a shift worker
I travel through the tunnel at various periods. I see workers in there
without any gas protection PPE. How are gas levels monitored? I travel
through railway tunnels and am required to carry a personal gas monitor
and gas mask/ spare filters and a self-contained-self rescuer. What
breathing PPE is required for the road tunnel workers? Again, who did the
risk assessment - please provide a copy.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Lindsay Gough.
