Pakūranga’s new connectionThe flyover above Reeves Road is a significant aspect of the Eastern Busway project. It’s intended to streamline travel and ease traffic congestion in Pakūranga when completed. While construction takes place, some adjustments to travel routes are inevitable and clear signage will be provided along affected roads.
