Pito-One to Melling

The Pito-One to Melling section of Te Ara Tupua is part of our investment into creating a walking and cycling link between Wellington and Lower Hutt. It was funded by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi and Hutt City Council, and was delivered by contractors, Fulton Hogan.

The Pito-One to Melling section will join the Ngā Ūranga to Pito-One section (once complete in 2026); it will also link to walking and cycling paths to be built through the Melling Transport Improvements (which is part of Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi).

Key features of the Pito-One to Melling section include:

  • new rail underpasses at Hutt Road and Parliament Street
  • a well-marked route through the Petone train station car park
  • a cycle bypass for southbound cyclists at the Dowse interchange, and
  • a connection to the existing Hutt River Trail.

The Pito-One to Melling section of Te Ara Tupua opened on Monday 16 October 2023.
