About the project

We’re upgrading Constellation Drive to support safer, more accessible travel for everyone!

New walking and cycling paths have been built along the motorway (SH1 and SH18) as part of Waka Kotahi NZTA’s Northern Corridor Improvements to give people more options to walk and cycle. Now we’re working on making it easier for people to get to them from nearby streets and ensure local connections are safer and easier to access.

One of these connections is Constellation Drive. These changes will improve local access to the shared path built along State Highway 1, and also the nearby Constellation Bus Station to help more people choose active and sustainable ways of travel.

The changes we’re making include:

  • Build new shared walking and cycling paths on both sides of Constellation Drive, from the motorway to the intersection with Home Place and Parkway Drive.
  • Realign the kerb to accommodate the new, wider shared path.
  • Install zebra crossings and reshape islands at the Constellation Drive, Home Place and Parkway Drive intersection.
  • Regrade three driveways to connect smoothly with the new footpath near the Home Zone Shopping Complex, ASB and Mobil entrances.
  • Relocate the sign board to improve visibility of the zebra crossing.

Benefits to your community

  • More travel choices - Provides safer options for walking, biking, or scooting along Constellation Drive that support your whānau, and the environment.
  • Better connections - Connects to the SH1 shared path, other local cycleways, and public transport.
  • Health and wellbeing - Encourages active lifestyles and time outdoors in your neighbourhood.
  • Safer for everyone - Footpaths and cycleways separate people from traffic, making it safer for people.

What happens next

  • Any change or update to the plan will be uploaded on this webpage.
  • We will contact residents and businesses before any work begins.
