Pedestrian crossing delayed

Auckland Transport (AT) has delayed the completion of a new raised pedestrian crossing in Warkworth’s Woodcocks Road until the school holidays in a bid to ease congestion.

The construction works between the western entrance of Mahurangi College and Glenmore Drive caused traffic chaos earlier this month, so remaining line painting and drainage works have been postponed.

An AT spokesman said the crossing should still be finished by Christmas.
