Albany walking and cycling bridge to be installed
The newest walking and cycling bridge on the North Shore will be lifted into place over the Northern Motorway at Spencer Road in Albany next week. The bridge will be installed by alliance crews over a series of nights from Monday 24 September, as part of the Northern Corridor Improvements project.
NZTA says that people will notice the bridge straight away but they still need to take extra care while it’s being installed. The Northern Motorway will be closed from 9pm until 5am between Greville Road and Oteha Valley Road for several weeknights. Drivers are advised to plan ahead, follow the detours and look out for reminders on overhead and electronic signs. The main work will take place on Monday 24, Wednesday 26 September and Monday 1 October.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
