Public Meeting - Update on Reeves Rd Flyover
From Simeon Brown, MP for Pakuranga:
“I wanted to let you know about an upcoming Public Meeting I will be hosting on Saturday 9 August, to provide the local community with an update on the Reeves Road Flyover.
With major works beginning in the coming months as construction of the Flyover and the next stage of the Eastern Busway to Botany progresses, it is important you be provided with an update on what this entails.
At the meeting, I will be joined by senior members of the Eastern Busway Alliance, the organisation responsible for the project, who will give a presentation on the upcoming works plans and timings, and how it will impact travel in the area.”
