Delivery of the transport improvements at Melling will be delivered by Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi Alliance (AECOM and Fletcher Construction).
The status of the SH2 Melling transport improvements remains in an Interim Project Alliance Agreement (IPAA) phase.
This is a normal practice of alliance-delivered projects, and is a process which includes design reviews to identify where improvements can be made, construction planning, and opportunities to improve value for money.
Once the IPAA phase concludes and the final cost and construction approach is agreed, the programme will move into the Project Alliance Agreement (PAA) phase.
We will update the community once final decisions are made.
