A new timelapse video shows eight months of work on Christchurch's new stadium.
Te Kaha — to be known as One New Zealand Stadium — is due to open in April, 2026.
It will have 25,000 permanent seats, with an option of adding 5000 more for large sporting events. There is 36,000 capacity for concerts.
Video released by Christchurch City Council begins in November 2023, just ahead of work starting on the roof support structure.
It ends with the first section of roof being installed in the south stand along Tuam St last week.
Te Kaha project delivery chief executive David Kennedy said there were currently around 350 people working on site.
"Week-to-week, the team on site are making noticeable progress. The seating bowl, hosting facilities in the west stand, and the roof structure are all tracking well."
Twenty-eight of the 37m tall roof supports have been fabricated and welded together around the seating bowl.
The video also showed the installation of 118 concrete seating plats, the L-shaped structures forming the tiered shape of the stand.
"The remaining 500 seating plats are being installed in the lower stands, and will soon start in the northwest stand. Then we will move on to installing handrails, stairs and seats," Kennedy said.
The covered stadium was budgeted to cost around $683 million.
