Link road progresses

Auckland Transport released new drone footage late last month, which it says shows significant progress on the Matakana link road.

Over 333 truck and trailer loads of drainage metal have now been supplied, which would fill a rugby field to a depth of about one metre.

Erosion controls are in place, while site clearing and tree felling is 98 per cent complete. Auckland Mayor Phil Goff welcomes progress on the project, which he says is coming in on time and on budget.

The project is funded with $30.5 million from Auckland Transport and $31.7 million from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
