Public information sessions on southern motorway upgrade
South Auckland residents can find out more about the planned southern motorway upgrade at information sessions starting on Saturday.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency will provide information on the SH1 Papakura to Drury South project at markets, sports grounds, service stations and shops.
The project includes a new walking and cycling path, extra lanes with potential use for high occupancy vehicles, wide road shoulders for future public transport and improved local road connections.
Improvements will be made at Papakura interchange and at Druy interchange to allow for electrification of the adjacent rail line.
A new interchange is set to be built at Drury South.
The project is part of $2.39 billion of transport upgrades in South Auckland that Waka Kotahi and KiwiRail will begin within the next three years as part of the Government’s New Zealand Upgrade Programme.
Construction on the first stage between Papakura and the Drury motorway service centre is expected to begin in early 2021.
Information days will be held on:
November 28, 7am – 12pm, Pukekohe Farmer’s Market.
November 28, 9am – 12pm, outside Drury Lotto & Superette.
November 29, 8am – 2pm, Pokeno Market.
December 5, 9am – 1pm, Bruce Pulman Park, Takanini.
