Praise for new roads



Rodney Local Board officially welcomed the opening of Te Honohono ki Tai, the Matakana link road, and Ara Tūhono, the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway extension, at its monthly meeting on June 21.

Chair Brent Bailey acknowledged “the extremely valuable and greatly appreciated efforts” of Wharehine, Ngāti Manuhiri Settlement Trust, Auckland Transport, Waka Kotahi and NX2 in the design, construction and delivery of both projects.

“And also the Warkworth community for their support and patience during the construction phase of this very important roading network,” he added.
