About the project
We've heard concerns that drivers use Library Lane in Albany as a shortcut to avoid the Albany Highway and Oteha Valley Road intersection.
This creates congestion when they merge onto Dairy Flat Highway, especially in the afternoon.
To respond, we're running a short trial to find ways to ease congestion on Dairy Flat Highway and improve afternoon travel times.
Where
Library Lane entry from Albany Highway (detours in place)
When
13 to 16 October 2025, Monday to Thursday
Hours of work
4pm to 7pm
Duration
4 days only
Community Impact
Please plan ahead and 🚗drive carefully. There will be detours and 🚧 traffic management in place during the specified closure times.
Library Lane entry from Albany Highway closed from 13 to 16 October 2025, between 4pm to 7pm
Library Lane exit onto Albany Highway and entry/exit to/from Dairy Flat Highway open during trial times
All access to Library Lane open outside trial hours
Detours in place
Northbound - Albany Expressway: (follow red line) Albany Highway ➡ Dairy Flat Highway ➡ Library Lane
Southbound on Albany Expressway: (follow blue line) Albany Highway ➡ Rosedale Road ➡ Bush Road ➡ Dairy Flat Highway ➡ Library Lane
This trial would like to see if:
Congestion on Dairy Flat Highway eases
Traffic flow and travel times improve
Fewer cars use local side streets as short cuts
Benefits to your community
Smoother afternoon travel on Dairy Flat Highway
Less congestion from side-street merging and short cut traffic
More reliable journey times
A smarter way to keep Albany moving
What happens next
We want to hear about how this trial impacts you and your daily travel, as part of our work to keep Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland moving and connected.
Share your thoughts by 💬answering our short survey below, or 📧emailing us at ATengagement@at.govt.nz by 24 October 2025.
All insights will be considered. If results show an improvement, we'll look at permanent solutions such as traffic lights in the area.
We'll update this page with the outcome of the trial once it ends and share next steps with the community.
