Fewer lanes on Pakūranga Road to enable flyover
Rā Hihi – the flyover above Reeves Road - will open to vehicles in October, five months ahead of schedule. But to enable that to happen, major work is needed on Pakūranga Road to build the access to the structure.
The Eastern Busway project team is working round the clock to get the job done and improve travel times for east Aucklanders.
There will be fewer lanes on Pakūranga Road from Saturday 20 September to Friday 24 October. The road layouts on Pakūranga Road will change to allow the teams to build the new connection.
I've attached the maps showing the different stages over the next few weeks - they will vary. Please pay extra attention while travelling through this area. Efforts are being made to maintain as many lanes in the main direction of travel but there will be some impacts.
Expect significant congestion and delays, and plan ahead to avoid travelling at peak times, and use alternative routes/modes. Visit AT.govt.nz/journeyplanner to plan your journey.
