Public information sessions on southern motorway upgrade
South Auckland residents can find out more about the planned southern motorway upgrade at information sessions starting on Saturday.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency will provide information on the SH1 Papakura to Drury South project at markets, sports grounds, service stations and shops.
The project includes a new walking and cycling path, extra lanes with potential use for high occupancy vehicles, wide road shoulders for future public transport and improved local road connections.
Improvements will be made at Papakura interchange and at Druy interchange to allow for electrification of the adjacent rail line.
A new interchange is set to be built at Drury South.
The project is part of $2.39 billion of transport upgrades in South Auckland that Waka Kotahi and KiwiRail will begin within the next three years as part of the Government’s New Zealand Upgrade Programme.
Construction on the first stage between Papakura and the Drury motorway service centre is expected to begin in early 2021.
Information days will be held on:
November 28, 7am – 12pm, Pukekohe Farmer’s Market.
November 28, 9am – 12pm, outside Drury Lotto & Superette.
November 29, 8am – 2pm, Pokeno Market.
December 5, 9am – 1pm, Bruce Pulman Park, Takanini.

2 degrees phone calls dropping out
Hey neighbour's. Sorry, I'm not on social media e.g Facebook so I'm reaching out to you all hoping this is not just happening to me.
Have any of you had phone calls to other 2 degree customers (phones) where in less than 4-5 minutes the call drops out. You call the person back, don't get a ring tone and goes straight to their leave a message and takes a few calls before you get hold of the person again but after again 4-5 minutes, the same thing happens. This is calling another person within NZ. Also, occasionally the call breaks up so you can't understand what they are saying for a few seconds. This us not from not having bills unpaid or anything like that and has been happening since October.
I would appreciate your feedback and experiences and advice on how to get around this or have resolved.
