Latest update on Pakuranga Rd Intersection

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

‼️ Latest update from Auckland Transport ‼️
An update on the new Pakuranga Rd intersection - AT and the Eastern Busway team are taking a number of actions to sort out those afternoon traffic delays on Pakuranga Rd heading east.

We want to reassure everyone that the team is investigating a design solution to improve the efficiency of the intersection.

Other actions are also underway:
📌 Adjusting traffic lights to optimise vehicle flow and monitoring traffic.
📌 Putting construction work at the intersection on hold - only essential activities are being completed like installing permanent signage.
📌 Assessing the potential removal of a Pakuranga Road pedestrian crossing between the intersections of Brampton Court and Tī Rākau Drive.
📌 Getting feedback from MP Simeon Brown, councillors and the local board.

We'll keep you updated - thank you for your patience.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!
