The proposed Western link road in Warkworth, which would connect the present State Highway 1 around McKinney Road to SH1 near Warkworth Showgrounds, has been on various drawing boards for at least 20 years.
It is currently part of the future transport network for Warkworth, under investigation by Te Tupu Ngātahi Supporting Growth.
The current indicative route goes just west of the Woodcock Road industrial area, through Evelyn Street and Mansel Drive to Falls Road and then across to the highway just north of Hudson Road.
An Auckland Transport spokesperson says that through a business case approach, a range of future transport projects are being investigated that will identify upgrades to existing roads, new greenfield roads and public transport infrastructure required to support the anticipated growth in Warkworth.
The final route is still a work in progress and the project still has to secure funding.
“The business case is programmed to be completed at the end this year and is expected to be scheduled for consideration by the Auckland Transport and Waka Kotahi boards early next year.”
Public consultation is currently expected later this year.
