Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway


	December 2019


	Kia ora

It was good to see so many of you take the opportunity to walk over the Rāhui Road Bridge at the open day on Sunday 24 November. I’m betting those who couldn’t make it on the day have had a drive over the new bridge since it opened on Saturday 30 November.

There are a number of other milestones to come before we all break for Christmas. Old Hautere Road is scheduled to open in mid-December and the northern end of the new local arterial road (LAR) at Marycrest will be completed before Christmas. To avoid damage to the newly sealed surface during the heavy holiday traffic, as well as the safety risks that increased traffic presents to our local community, the road won’t be opened for use until January 2020. A graphic showing the new LAR is pictured below.

I’d also like to thank those who have attended the Southern and Northern Neighbourhood Group and the Community Liaison Group meetings during the year. Your continued support is valued.

	PP2Ō – a bird’s-eye view The PP2Ō project has passed its half-way mark and though there’s still a long way to go before its 2021 opening; a bird’s-eye view gives a clear indication of progress. The 12.5 kilometre stretch of expressway extends from Peka Peka in the south, to Taylors Road in the north. Watch the video >
