Project update
We would like to extend our huge thanks to the wider Te Atatū South community for their patience and cooperation during the construction phase of the Te Atatū T2 lanes and other improvements.
We have scheduled the final coating for the new line-marking layout:
- Location: Te Atatū Road, Te Atatū South
- Start date: Thursday 1 August 2024
- Hours of work: 7pm to 6am, night shift works
- Duration: approximately 3 weeks, weather dependent
We are pleased to report that we have completed all major work along Te Atatū South. This work is part of the Northwestern Bus Improvements project aimed at providing a more efficient bus network to service the rapidly growing population of Northwest Auckland.
We still have some minor night work pending, to paint long-life road marking, but we’re waiting for good weather conditions and traffic management approval.
