Traffic updates

Tupua Horo Nuku requires temporary lane closures to ensure there’s space for the team to safely and efficiently work on the seawall and shared path.

Construction is ongoing in Sunshine Bay, York Bay, and Whiorau/Lowry Bay. From Monday to Friday, between 7am and 5pm, and on Saturday from 7am to 4pm, there may be*:

  • Up to two northbound lane closures,
  • One shoulder closure.

*actual lane closure hours may be less than this depending on tide, weather and planned work.

Until works are completed, all sites have a 30 kmph speed limit in place.

Please reach out to us if you have any concerns.

Extension of lane closure hours

Due to upcoming work on the wastewater main, we’re temporarily increasing the time of the lane closure in York Bay to be 24/7 from Thursday 3 October for about six weeks.

The site will be monitored in person 24/7 as a safety measure.

This work was previously scheduled to begin 2 September but was pushed out due to subcontractor availability. During that time, the team focused on other tasks to keep progress up in the bay.

We appreciate your careful driving and thank you for your patience.

Traffic delay data

We use TomTom GPS data to keep an eye on traffic delays from Pt Howard to the intersection of Marine Drive and Ferry Road.

These tables show the wait times for 85 per cent of journeys, broken down by hour for the week 4 to 11 November. While they may not reflect individual trips, they’re representative of most trips through the site.

During this week, there were two hours on the southbound lane and no hours on the northbound lane showing delays longer than 6 minutes. The longest delay was 7.4 minutes on the southbound lane, early evening on the Monday.

The table’s colour code is:

  • Green = delays of less than 2.5 minutes,
  • Light green = delays of 2.5-5 minute,
  • Amber = delays 5-6 minutes and
  • Red = delays longer than 6 minute
