The SH22 upgrade project will connect people to the planned Ngākōroa Railway Station and Drury West housing development areas.
South Auckland is growing fast, with an additional 120,000 people expected to make it their home during the next 30 years.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA), Mana Whenua, Auckland Transport and KiwiRail are working together to plan and deliver road and rail improvements in South Auckland to support this future growth. In Drury, we are getting on with preparation to upgrade part of State Highway 22 (SH22).
The SH22 upgrade project will cover a 2km section of SH22 between its intersections with Jesmond Road and Mercer Street. The proposed improvements will provide access to the Ngākōroa Railway Station and improve access to new housing developments in the Drury West area.
The Government has approved pre-implementation funding to allow design work to progress and required land to be purchased.
Other projects in South Auckland include the Waihoehoe Road upgrade, SH1 Papakura to Drury improvements, three new rail stations between Papakura and Pukekohe, rail electrification between Papakura and Pukekohe, and the Wiri to Quay Park rail project, which includes building a third main line between Westfield and Wiri junctions.
