Key Auckland transport links- Less than 2km wide isthmus
- Traffic running through congested central corridor
- Overly dependent on central, single north-south spine
- Network “ladder” model adopted
Western Ring Route- One of the NZ Governments seven roads of
national significance (RONS)
- Waterview Connection is the missing link between SH 20 and SH 16
- Completes 48km motorway ring route for the NZ Transport Agency
- Links major population and industrial centres
Waterview Connection- 5km of new motorway
- 2.4km of which comprises two three lane tunnels
Project Costs- NZ $1.4 Billion – the country’s biggest roading
project
