Papakura to Pukekohe rail track and path developments Papakura to Pukekohe rail track and path developments

Where we're at with this proposal

KiwiRail and Auckland Transport proposed to jointly protect land for:

  • doubling the number of tracks on the railway line from two to four between Papakura and Pukekohe
  • a walking and cycling path between Drury and Pukekohe.

We have not secured the funding needed to continue the project and it's now paused. There's no timeframe for when the project will resume. Funding may be provided through future budgets or National Land Transport Programmes. 

The project is a strategic priority for KiwiRail and Auckland Transport. For more information about our Strategic Rail Programme, visit Strategic Rail Programme: A 30-year vision (opens in a new tab) on the KiwiRail website.
