There’s been a lot of progress since our last PP2Ō newsletter. The images below capture just how much the landscape has changed since August 2017.

At the end of October, we achieved an exciting milestone with the landing of the Ōtaki River Bridge’s last beam, or beam number 110.

After a long wait two key milestones will be achieved in December with Old Hautere Road in the south and the new Rāhui Road Bridge in the North open to traffic and pedestrians.

Another milestone will be the diversion of traffic onto a section of the new local arterial road at the south end of the project in December. These moves mark significant progress on the project.

Once the traffic is moved to the new local arterial road, we can start to build the southern part of the Expressway. However, the Expressway alignment is already clearly visible.

We understand that major construction work is disruptive. Once again, I would like to thank the community for your patience as construction of the PP2Ō expressway continues.
