Woodcocks speed bump issues addressed

Remediation work on the somewhat controversial pedestrian crossing in Woodcocks Road, outside Edmonds & Mason Panelbeaters, is expected to be finished this week.

Regular users of the road have been complaining since the raised crossing was installed in 2021 that it was wrongly engineered.

Auckland Transport says the latest work consists of removing and replacing the approach and departure ramps, some drainage work, pavement rehabilitation and new roadmarking.

AT could not provide information on how much the remedial work was costing or how much was spent on the raised platform originally.

The crossing was built in response to a request from Mahurangi College to address the safety concerns over school children crossing the road.
