Scenic Drive, Titirangi

13 September 2023

Planning has been underway for this site, and we are working through the preferred design options.

The two designs options are:

• Reinforced Earth Wall
• Tied Back Steel UC solider Pile wall

 The steel UC wall is most likely to be the final option - as the ground conditions have been unstable.

There have been some delays with preparing our options report as further investigation and ground analysis has been required due to the ground conditions which are very challenging on this site.

The road remains closed.

19 September 2023

Downer, on behalf of Auckland Transport (AT) is undertaking slip repair work, including the reinstatement of the footpath and the construction of a retaining wall at 418 Titirangi Road, near Lopdell House. This work began on July 30^th, 2023.

During construction, an obstacle was encountered which has required a design change. This means there will be a delay to completion as Downer works through a solution. Work has stopped, with a return-to-work date expected in the coming weeks.

The works site will remain secured and inaccessible to the public.

Recent weather events in Auckland have caused damage to the retaining wall on council land near Lopdell House, just beside the pedestrian crossing. This damage to the wall has caused some damage on the footpath and kerb adjacent to the pedestrian crossing. AT will be working with Auckland Council to stabilise and repair the retaining wall before damage to the footpath and road can be completed.

This is a significant repair job, and we will update the website with timelines around this work when we have completed the assessment work.

• An underslip has occurred along Titirangi road. The head scarp extends for approximately 30 meters. Footpath has been undermined. Few meters down, the toe of the slope directly below slip is at the boundary of a Kindergarten.
• An Overland flow path is running through this location which will have to be considered during the Design phase along with existing SW network which might need to be reviewed.
• Traffic Hit sticks have been placed on the side of the road to warn traffic of the hazard and will remain until the road is repaired. Polythene sheeting has been installed to prevent from run-offs entering the cracks.

Titirangi Road, near Lopdell House, the footpath has dropped due to damage to a retaining wall on Council owned land.
