Progress on walking and cycling pathway
Work is progressing on the walking and cycling pathway linking Papakura to Takanini and the communities in between.
Over the last month, as weather has allowed, more sections between Papakura and Conifer Grove have been joined up with newly-poured concrete. Lighting poles have been installed and landscaping, including shaping of the ground in preparation for tree planting, adding new artwork and seating areas beside the pathway.
At Pescara Point, the concrete surface has been poured on and around the pedestrian footbridge. This bridge will provide a new connection across the motorway, linking the communities of Pahurehure and Karaka.
During August and September, the shared pathway connection into Gardone Reserve will be built and the area planted with native trees and shrubs. The pathway beside the motorway from Gardone Reserve to Conifer Grove Reserve will also be completed in August and September, weather permitting, and landscaped to provide community amenity.
The full walking and cycling pathway and pedestrian bridge at Pescara Point are expected to be opened in November.
