Albany local so keen for new road to open, they unofficially opened it themself
Kia ora neighbours. An Albany local was so keen for the Medallion Drive extension road to open, they snuck out at night and unofficially opened it themself.
Auckland Transport has been working on a $10 million extension to Medallion Drive in Albany since June 2020.
The project was expected to be complete by mid-2021, however it is now expected to open in early April, an Auckland Transport spokeswoman confirmed.
Locals on social media recently questioned why the Medallion Drive link road had not yet opened, as it had looked completed for several weeks, with minimal activity from contractors.
On Friday night, some locals got an exclusive preview, when someone took it upon themself to remove the barriers and unofficially open the road.
Auckland Transport have labelled this person's actions as "dangerous".
