Aerial photos show scale of Auckland motorway project from Pūhoi to Warkworth
Hi neighbours,
Have you seen the arial photographs of the progress of construction on the major motorway project north of Auckland?
The Ōkahu Viaduct is a steel girder bridge that crosses Pūhoi Rd and Te Aqua Pūhoi.
Work is taking place near the Johnstones Hill tunnels, as part of the Ara Tūhono project that will extend the four-lane Northern Motorway (SH1) 18.5km from Pūhoi to just north of Warkworth, in a move aimed at improving road safety.
The motorway was scheduled to open at the end of 2021, but delays due to the coronavirus alert level 4 lockdown in April meant nearly five weeks of working time was lost.
Now, the new road is expected to be open in time for Queen’s Birthday weekend 2022. To read more, click here
