MATAKANA LINK ROAD
CLIENT: AUCKLAND TRANSPORT
2019-2023
The Matakana Link Road (MLR) project was a 1.35km greenfield road between State Highway 1 (SH1) and Matakana Road in Warkworth. Warkworth has been
identified as a Satellite Town with over 1000ha of future urban zoned land.
Over the next 30 years these future urban areas are expected to accommodate approximately 7,500 additional dwellings, or an additional 20,000 people. The MLR project will improve resilience of the transport network by providing an alternative route to the busy Hill Street intersection, and also facilitate planned growth in the Warkworth area as identified by Auckland Council’s Warkworth Structure Plan and the Supporting Growth Alliance transport network. The project will form one piece of the overall future transport network for Warkworth. In particular, it will connect to the New Zealand Transport Agency’s (NZTA) Puhoi to Warkworth (P2Wk) project, and the future Western Link and Sandspit Link Roads. The job involved over 200,000 cubic meters of earthworks along with construction of 4 lane roading, drainage, services, footpaths, cycleways, lighting a 3 span bridge culminating in the tie in roundabout on Matakana Road.
