Final road surfacing resumes
Preseal works were undertaken all along the southbound lanes prior to the COVID-19 Level 4 lockdown, in preparation for final surfacing. Old lighting foundations and redundant services were removed, barriers moved and final ducting installed.
Final surfacing works have restarted on the northbound side from Takanini to Manukau and will continue on the southbound side, south of Takanini. Weather, construction issues and COVID-19 safety measures permitting, final surfacing on the northbound lanes from Papakura to Takanini will be completed within the coming months.
Local residents have already noted a distinct reduction in the noise made by passing traffic, due to the noise-dampening qualities of the epoxy-modified open grade porous asphalt (EMOGPA) being used.
Final lane marking will be completed after the EMOGPA has been laid.
