Eastern Busway Construction Update

One million journeys across Rā Hihi – flyover

There has been another big milestone for Rā Hihi - flyover above Reeves Road; over one million vehicles have now travelled across it. Since opening to traffic, Rā Hihi has become an important part of the local road network, carrying vehicles above the busy intersection that is below and changing the way people travel through Pakūranga. 

Reaching one million vehicle journeys is a significant marker of just how quickly the flyover has become part of everyday travel for the community and helped to reduce congestion around Pakuranga Town Centre. 

The milestone is also a reminder of how much has changed in this part of east Auckland. For years, construction activity was a familiar sight around Reeves Road and Pakūranga. Today, people are travelling on infrastructure that was once taking shape behind construction barriers, and most construction between Pakūranga and Botany will be completed by the end of the year. 

Meanwhile, the transformation continues. 

Around Rā Hihi, work on the wider Eastern Busway is progressing, creating new connections and transport choices for people travelling across east Auckland.
