Route (Northbound)[edit]

The Christchurch Northern Corridor begins in the suburb of St Albans, at a roundabout intersection with Cranford Street. A few hundred meters from the roundabout is a diamond intersection with Queen Elizabeth II Drive. It then goes over the road, and the Motorway Begins. The Next intersection is a few kilometres away. The intersection is with Belfast Road. This intersection only has a northbound off ramp, and a southbound on ramp. Another few kilometers now passes, and then there are 2 overpasses: one goes over a Railway Line, and the next one goes over Main North Road. Pass that, and you will find yourself merging onto the Christchurch Northern Motorway (State Highway 1)
