With work on building the O Mahurangi (Penlink) road and bridge from Whangaparāoa to Redvale set to begin later this year, and the design now complete, two information days will be held this month in Whangaparāoa.
They are the first public sessions to be held in Whangaparāoa since Waka Kotahi took over the project (there were earlier sessions on the Stillwater side).
A Waka Kotahi spokesperson says that they are an opportunity for people on the peninsula to meet the team and learn more about the progress of the project, including refined designs for the Whangaparāoa Road connection and the Wēiti River crossing.
Hibiscus Matters raised questions with Waka Kotahi about the ability of the bridge design to be widened in future to four lanes. A spokesperson says that the two traffic lanes and shared user path can be modified in future to accommodate additional traffic lanes.
Government is yet to make a decision on whether or not the road will be tolled. Waka Kotahi was due to provide detailed information and analysis of the 3337 submissions on its website in June, but this has not yet been made public.
The information sessions are to be held near the site where Penlink will intersect with Whangaparāoa Road – at The Archer, on August 10 and 13.
