Great North Road Update Progress

Project background – Auckland Transport

Great North Road is a major Auckland corridor, carrying large numbers of people in and out of the City Centre. The area is changing, with more residential apartments being built. Around the project’s section of Great North Road, the population is expected to grow approximately 24% by 2031.

Improved access to reliable public transport and safe walking and cycling are key, as many new developments have limited access to private vehicles. By making public transport, walking and cycling safer and more attractive, we can create better-connected communities and give people more options for how they move around the city.

Over the past 5 years (2019 to 2023), there have been 84 collisions. As part of the project, we will address road-user safety with road resurfacing, maintenance and intersection upgrades.

Update from Cyclists

The progress being made on the Great North Road is impressive.  Using the road is currently dangerous in parts for cyclists.

Not sure if the temporary paths are meant for walkers or cyclists…. good test of your steering skills.
