Shared pathway update

In June, the Transport Agency received a wide range and scope of feedback in the first stage of designing a shared path as part of the Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway.

The design team has used the information gathered to develop a series of options, and will share these with the community at the information days on 28 and 29 October.

Representatives from the Transport Agency will present options for the shared path and invite feedback and discussion from residents in the area, and others who plan to use the path, before a final design is confirmed. The shared path is planned to open at the same time as the expressway, in 2020.

Connecting Peka Peka

The Transport Agency is currently investigating options for improving connections to and from the Mackays to Peka Peka Expressway in the area between Peka Peka and the Ōtaki River.

Information days are being held on 28 and 29 October where the PP2Ō team will seek feedback from affected communities on the options that have been identified.

Construction update

Works are starting to ramp up as we prepare to get the main construction underway. In the North Zone (from the north bank of the Ōtaki River to Taylors Road) we are continuing to clear vegetation around Rahui Road, Pareo-o-Matangi Reserve and to the east of State Highway 1 where it crosses over the railway tracks. House removals around Rahui Road and demolition work are being carried out.
