Eastern Busway Construction Update

Intersection upgrade completed in record time - Ti Rākau Drive/ Pakūranga Highway

The summer holiday season is a time when there are less vehicles travelling across the Auckland road network. This meant we could compress 5 months of traditional construction into just over 2 weeks for a vital intersection upgrade. For this to happen, the intersection was closed and our teams worked 24/7 supported by months of planning.

What did we do? 

• Deconstructed the existing infrastructure
• Installed new traffic signals
• Laid special heat-absorbing material alongside Transpower's underground 220k V cable
• Earthworks
• Installed drainage systems
• Constructed the concrete pavement
• Placed tonnes of asphalt
• Signage installation 
• Landscaping
• Line marking
