Construction has started on the new commercial vehicle safety centre at Bombay, which is expected to be completed and become operational in 2026.
Supporting infrastructure including weigh-in-motion scales, static vehicle recognition cameras, and variable message signage will also be installed on State Highway 1 (SH1), both north and south of Bombay Interchange.
This technology will screen passing heavy vehicles and any con-compliant vehicles can be directed into the CVSC. Once operational, Police officers on site will check for vehicle weight, road user charges (RUC), certificate of fitness, logbook and driver impairment.
The Bombay site is located on Great South Road at Bombay in South Auckland, near the SH1 Bombay Interchange.

Screening vehicles in this area will allow us to identify and target non-compliant operators, reduce road maintenance by reducing overloading on the network, and keep freight moving on this high-volume route between Auckland and other regions further south.
