Kia ora and welcome to the latest update on the Eastern Busway project.
|
|
|
|
The Eastern Busway is about creating more lifestyle and climate friendly travel options for the growing East Auckland community. When it’s completed the busway will provide:
|
|
|
- better connections and sustainable travel options for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, bus and train passengers
- a reliable 40-minute bus and train trip between Botany Town Centre and Britomart (saving 20 minutes)
- 7km of dedicated lanes for rapid bus services between Panmure and Botany
- 12km of separate cycling and walking routes
- Reeves Road Flyover reducing vehicle congestion around Pakuranga Town Centre
- support for the future development of a public transport connection from the Botany Town Centre area to Auckland Airport.

Work in progress
- Deconstruction and removal of vacant properties along Ti Rakau Drive between the South Eastern arterial and Ti Rakau Drive Bridge, and on William Roberts Road between Pakuranga Road and Reeves Road. Removing these Auckland Council-owned properties will enable the roads to be widened for the construction of two busway lanes and the Reeves Road Flyover
- Site investigation work in Burswood to gather information about ground conditions and water, electricity and gas pipes, to inform the design and planning for construction
- In-person meetings and information sessions will be available during November for project neighbours in Burswood who would like to discuss the design, consenting, and construction of the busway and to be updated on next steps. We will let you know when the meeting times have been confirmed and can be booked.

Completion of a big project like the busway creates change and some disruption. We’re keen to be good neighbours while the work is in progress, to update you regularly so that you know what to expect, and to help keep everyone safe.
