Project Outcome:
Thank you to everyone who shared feedback on this project. Public engagement took place earlier this year with letters sent to affected residents and members of community.
After reviewing all feedback received, we will be proceeding with the project as proposed.
Next steps
We expect construction to take place by mid-2026. We will contact residents and property owners in the affected work areas before construction begins.
About the project
Bend Treatment Programme
Auckland Transport has identified multiple sites across Auckland to deliver low-cost solutions to improve safety. These projects comprise a series of cost-effective measures proposed to enhance safety at high-risk bends on Auckland’s rural and urban roads. These safety measures aim to reduce the risks associated with vehicle loss of control, ensuring drivers can safely navigate through these high-risk locations.
What we’re planning to do in 2025 - 2026
We are proposing one or more of the following safety interventions:
Install high friction surfacing on the approach to and through the bend to enhance the skid resistance of the road surface.
Install Active Warning Signs (AWS) to encourage safe and appropriate speeds.
Install static signs, road markings, EMP (Edge marker post) and delineations to guide motorists more effectively.
Trim vegetation to improve visibility where required.
The sites included in this work are as follows:
508 Awhitu Road
118 Glenbrook Station Road
115 Roger Road
51 Logan Road
216 Opaheke Road
450 Oruarangi Road
1245-1293 Alfriston Road
1345 Alfriston Road
1475 Alfriston Road
How this will benefit your neighbourhood
These improvements will make the bends safer and more convenient for everyone.
Better signage and road markings will help road users who are unfamiliar with this stretch of the road to drive to the conditions and manage their speed to travel through the tight curves safely.
Improving the road surface will provide better grip and make the drive through safer and more comfortable.
Overall, the project will improve safety for all users, making it easier to use and better connected for everyone living, working, studying or visiting nearby.
