Construction update – January 2018

Happy New Year – welcome to the first construction update for 2018.

Christmas and New Year is often a quiet time for construction projects, but there was no rest for the team with several crews working through the holiday period.

With the dry summer weather, bulk earthworks have been progressing well across the entire alignment, and if the good weather continues, we’ll be on track to beat our summer earthworks target of 4 million cubic metres of earth moved.

Here’s an update from the project team on what’s been happening over the last month, and what to expect over the rest of the summer season.

Steel girder installation at Kenepuru

During the Christmas holidays an important project milestone was achieved, with the successful installation of a section of steel bridge girders over the North Island Main Trunk railway line for the new Kenepuru connector road. Once complete, this new road will provide access for local residents on and off the new Transmission Gully motorway.
