Work is well underway on the Warkworth Community Transport Hub, a new park and ride facility funded by Rodney Local Board’s transport targeted rate.
In a report to the Board’s monthly meeting on March 16, Auckland Transport (AT) said it was now in its “heavy construction” phase and anticipated that works would be finished towards the end of May. AT expects the site to be fully operational from the end of June.
The $3.7million project on the former Atlas site, just south of the Warkworth Showgrounds, includes 137 carparks, drop-off spots, bike racks, toilets and bus stops on either side of State Highway 1. There is also a new pedestrian bridge between the site and the showgrounds.
The transport hub is aimed at Warkworth district commuters, providing a place for them to park and catch the 995 bus service to Auckland.
There is also a possibility that shuttle buses may be provided to ferry people between the hub and Warkworth town centre in future, something that is being looked into as part of a $31,000 Local Board study into potential new bus services (MM, March 21).
