Summer Road Reno

A record-breaking summer road reno

Summer in Auckland is the season for most of our road resealing and rehabilitation programme.

Our dedicated road crews work all year round but take advantage of the good weather over the summer months. During this past summer, they repaired, resealed and repainted 417km of Auckland’s roads. This was Auckland’s biggest summer road reno yet.

We had over 1,000 people working on the road network across the Auckland region and the Hauraki Gulf islands.

Thank you to everyone who gave our crews a wave as they worked hard to keep your city moving this summer.

How we did last year

Last year we repaired 407km of roads, which is 6.1% of the area of our local road network.

Flood recovery works will continue

We'll also continue our work on the remaining sites that were impacted in the storm events in 2023. To find out more about these works, visit Long-term road repairs from Auckland storms.

How roadworks may impact you

Speed limits

Your safety is important to us. Drive slower and follow the signs, light signals and traffic directions while driving through works’ areas. This also helps protect our roading staff.

Road closures

Plan ahead and think about using other routes if a road is closed. We will set up signs and have traffic controllers on the road to help you out.

Parking

You might not be able to use your usual parking space during the roadworks, or drive onto or off of your property. We will let you know about access issues before we start working, and get work done as quickly as possible.

Commuting

Bus stops and footpaths might move, but you will see signs and routes that tell you where the new ones are. You can also ask a traffic controller for directions.

For more information, go to Road and footpath maintenance.

How to help keep our crews safe

We understand that roadworks can be disruptive for you. Please be patient and kind to our workers on the road.

Remember our workers are on the road so they can make driving, walking and commuting in Auckland better for you.
