The NZ Transport Agency is inviting people to attend community open days on June 2 and June 3 to discuss the agency’s proposal for completing the Western Ring Route around Auckland by connecting SH20 at Mt Roskill to the Northwestern Motorway (SH16).
The open days will provide an opportunity for people to speak directly with the NZTA’s Waterview Connection project team about the proposed tunnel and surface option for the route.

Tuesday June 2 – Owairaka Primary School – 3:30pm to 8:30pm

NZTA’s Regional Director for Auckland and Northland Wayne McDonald said 5,000 copies of a detailed information brochure including maps, design and construction concepts and feedback forms were distributed to residents, community centres, libraries and others earlier this week.
“We understand that this project will have a significant impact on the community and we’re committed to working with residents and others to get their views on how the project can best by integrated with the surrounding urban area,” Mr McDonald said.
