1. How can I find out more?
Browse the About this Project page on this website, call 09 928 8734.
2. What about pedestrians and cyclists?
The cycleway alongside the motorway will be widened and raised to eliminate flooding.
The cycleway will also be extended further west.
Pedestrian and cyclist access across the motorway will also be improved.
3. What if my property is required?
The NZTA will talk with you about your options. If you have not received a letter or been visited and believe that you may be affected, please call the project team on 09 928 8734. Further detail about purchasing homes for public works is available in the publication Landowner's Rights - when the Crown requires your land for a Public Work, available from Land Information New Zealand.
4. How many extra lanes are proposed to be added to the motorway?
An extra lane is planned in both directions between Westgate and St Lukes.
See the SH16 now and in the future diagram for more information (PDF, 55 KB)
5. When do you expect the improvements to SH16 to start?
The timing of construction will depend on the completion of statutory processes. The NZTA is talking to the community about the proposed improvements and will apply for statutory approvals later this year.
