SH1 Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway project is underway
Today NZTA sent me an email that planning for the Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway project is underway, with a preferred route due to be confirmed before the end of the year.
The Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway project is part of the wider Whangārei to Te Hana programme, aimed at building more resilient transport connections between Northland and Auckland.
If we have an interest in Whangārei to Port Marsden Highway, we can subscribe to project updates by email here.
Highlights of the project include four-laning 22km of SH1, the possibility of managed lanes (prioritising public transport, freight, multiple occupancy), separated walking and cycling paths, and of course safety improvements.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
