Consultations now open for Lake Road Improvement Project
Today, public consultations are now open for the Lake Road Improvement Project.
Lake Road is the only arterial road in and out of the Devonport peninsula and, alongside Esmonde Road, serves as the main connection to the rest of the North Shore and Auckland for people living and working in the area.
The local community has raised concerns about the unpredictability of travel conditions along Lake Road during weekday peak times and during the weekends.
We want to improve the accessibility, reliability, and availability of travel choices to and from the Devonport peninsula, and make it easier and more convenient to travel to local shops, parks, beaches, and community centres.
The proposals include new separated cycling facilities, transit lanes and intersection upgrades for Bayswater Ave and Esmonde Rd, plus a Belmont Centre upgrade.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.4% ... It is complicated
Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
