The NZ Transport Agency has engaged the CausewayAlliance to raise and widen 4.8km of State Highway 16 from Great North Roadwest to the Whau River bridge just before Te Atatu – that’s the green bithighlighted in the centre of the map below.
TheCauseway Upgrade Project involves raising the motorway 1.5 metres to preventflooding and debris, and widening it to provide additional capacity in bothdirections. The shared path alongside the motorway is being raised,widened and upgraded, too. The work is being completed in stages so thatdisruption to the community, our environment and to traffic is kept to anabsolute minimum. We certainly appreciate your cooperation and goodwillduring the shared path and bus shoulder lane changes that are already inprogress beside the westbound on-ramp at Great North Road.
The upgrade will be finished along with other projects - being deliveredby different project teams for the Transport Agency - at St Lukes, Lincoln Rdand the Te Atatu Interchange by the time the Waterview tunnels open in 2017. Together those projects are completing the Western Ring Route, anefficient motorway alternative to State Highway 1 (which runs through the cityand over the Auckland Harbour Bridge), for traffic travelling south / north,and north / south.
