Impact on the Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive shared path
As part of KiwiRail's work near the Meadowbank Train Station, they will impact part of the Glen Innes to Tāmaki Drive - Te Ara ki Uta ki Tai from late March for approximately eight weeks.
Construction trucks accessing the train tracks need to cross the shared path between the end of Purewa Road and the start of the Ōrākei Basin boardwalk.
To keep everyone safe during this time, staffed Stop/Go signs will be in operation. General working hours are between 6:30am-6:30pm Monday-Saturday. Please be prepared to stop if needed.
