The flyover above Reeves Road
A groundbreaking development is in progress in Pakūranga with the construction of a flyover that’s set to soar above Reeves Road and across Tī Rākau Drive. It’s an important part of the Eastern Busway project that will improve travel times and ease congestion in the area. Establishing this direct link between the South Eastern Highway and Pakūranga Road will help to reduce traffic along Pakūranga Road and Tī Rākau Drive, particularly during peak hours.

Part of Reeves Road in Pakūranga closes for about two years from Monday 18 March while we build the flyover above it. The closure will be from the William Roberts Road intersection to Tī Rākau Drive. The alternative routes available during the closure are shown on the static and interactive maps

William Roberts Road
William Roberts Road has been extended and is now open. This new route in Pakūranga turns left into Tī Rākau Drive and also connects to Cortina Place and an additional car park. The image below shows the extension of William Roberts Road while it was being built in February 2024, connecting to Cortina Place and a left turn onto Tī Rākau Drive. Drivers can also turn left from Tī Rākau Drive onto William Roberts Road.
