Sandspit Road retaining wall replacement

From 27 October to mid-December 2026, Auckland Council and its contractor, Wharehine, will replace the retaining wall at 36 Sandspit Road, Warkworth. Crews will work between 7am and 7pm. Weather permitting, the project will include:

• a new steel H-pile wall (H-piles are H-shaped structural beams)
• improved drainage
• road resurfacing.

We will do our best to minimise disruption. One lane will be closed so the retaining wall can be replaced safely and efficiently. We know this may add time to your journey, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. Dates may change because of weather or unexpected delays, and we will tell you about any big changes.

Once complete, the improvements will help keep this important route safe and reliable for everyone who uses it.

Auckland Transport planned the project, and Auckland Council will manage and deliver the work.
