Southern Auckland Project Update - October 2020

COVID-19 has had a significant impact on Auckland Transport and the wider Auckland Council whānau. As a result, Auckland Council is implementing an Emergency Budget which has reduced Auckland Transport’s budget.

Unfortunately, this means that some projects in southern Auckland have now been put on hold. These include:  

• Pukekohe Expressway and connections to State Highway 22 and the Pukekohe Urban Arterial.
• Takaanini rail crossings (not yet started).
• Takaanini Frequent Transport Network (not yet started).

Projects that are continuing:

• Mill Road is funded by the New Zealand Upgrade Programme(external link)(external link)(external link) and will be delivered by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency. Click here for information about the Mill Road project.(external link)(external link) 
• Preparation and lodgement of Notices of Requirement for new and upgraded road corridors in Drury, including and walking and cycling paths.
• Preparation and lodgement of Notices of Requirement and resource consents for new train stations at Drury Central, Drury West and Paerata. 

Keeping you informed:

Over the coming months we’ll continue to engage with partners, stakeholders and the community to share information and keep everyone updated on all projects.
