Safety improvements to shared path intersection: East Auckland
Construction of the Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive shared path is rolling out with safety improvement work under way at the St Johns Rd, St Heliers Bay Rd and Kohimarama Rd intersection.
Motorists have been urged to watch out for road layout changes as the left-hand slip lanes on St Johns Rd and St Heliers Bay Rd will be closed during some of the work.
Development starts this week and is expected to finish in February.
The upgrade aims to boost safety for pedestrians and cyclists to move between the first section of the shared path and the second section being built.
The second section of the shared walking and cycling path will connect St Johns Rd with Ōrākei Basin boardwalk, and will link completed sections one and three.
Waka Kotahi acting senior manager of project delivery, Rod James,
said the agency wants to take advantage of reduced traffic volumes and get most of the upgrade finished before local schools open.
“Waka Kotahi thanks motorists for their patience and understanding while we work to make the intersection safer for all road users.”

Say goodbye to tyre waste
About 40% of the 6.5 million tyres Kiwis use every year are recycled, repurposed, or used as tyre-derived fuel. But the rest end up in landfills, stockpiled or dumped.
The good news is now there’s an easy solution to all that tyre waste. It’s called Tyrewise and is New Zealand’s first national tyre recycling scheme.
Tyrewise ensures that tyres in Aotearoa New Zealand are recycled or repurposed properly, saving millions from going to the landfill.
