About the project

We're building 3.5 km of new walking and cycling facilities in Te Ararata Māngere West.

This project is about more than just new cycleways — it's about creating a better-connected Māngere. It will link people to schools, parks, churches, Auckland Airport, and other key destinations in Māngere and beyond.

Auckland Council has prioritised funding for this project to improve transport options and equity in Māngere.


Construction Update

Stage 3 (Current Works)




✅ What’s Completed


Elmdon Street

We’ve finished building a new raised crossing for people walking and biking at the corner of Elmdon Street and Bader Drive.

What's been built:


  • A new raised pedestrian and cycle crossing
  • Footpath upgrades
  • A new speed hump
  • An extension of the two-way cycleway along Bader Drive




🔨 In Progress


Location 1: From Black Bridge Reserve to Hīnau Road


When: From 28 April to August 2025


What we're building:


  • New two-way cycleway
  • Footpath upgrades
  • Relocated bus stop
  • Intersection upgrades at Walmsley Road and McKenzie Road




Location 2: McKenzie Road to Ventura Street, along Bader Drive


When: From 5 May to July 2025


What we're building:


  • New two-way cycleway connecting to the McKenzie Road cycleway
  • Footpath upgrades
  • New road markings


Important note: Traffic will continue to flow in both directions along Bader Drive and McKenzie Road while these works are underway.



Location 3: Ngā Hau Māngere Bridge to Kiwi Esplanade


This section is part of the Streets for People project. Construction was originally scheduled to begin in April 2025, but will now start in late July 2025.


What we’re building:

  • Permanent kerb to replace planter boxes, bollards, and blue painted lines
  • A new “Paired Zebra” crossing near Kiwi Esplanade to prioritise people walking and biking

🚧 What’s Next


Location: Bader Drive and Comet Crescent (both ends)
Construction is moving further along Bader Drive and starting at both ends of Comet Crescent.


What we're building:

  • New raised pedestrian and cycle crossings at both ends of Comet Crescent
  • New shared path and upgraded footpaths
  • Separated cycleway connecting to Moyle Park shared path and SH20 shared path, which links to Auckland Airport

Local impact:

  • We’ll work on one end of Comet Crescent at a time
  • Traffic will continue to flow in both directions along Bader Drive while these works are underway.
  • Detours will be in place for people entering and exiting Comet Crescent
  • Resident access will be maintained throughout the works



Location: Dunstall Place / Coronation Road Intersection

We’re making changes to improve safety and visibility at the Dunstall Place and Coronation Road intersection. These changes respond to community concerns and will replace the temporary measures currently in place: the orange flexi posts and the 30km/h speed limit.


The changes we’re making

  • Realigning the centreline to better guide drivers and all road users
  • Resurfacing the road to remove outdated line markings
  • Adding continuity lines (white dotted lines) at the start of Dunstall Place
  • Installing reflective road markers (RRPMs) to help guide drivers at night and in wet conditions

See letter to residents with drawing showing where these changes will apply




Stage 1 (February to May 2025)

Location: Kiwi Esplanade & Woodward Avenue

What’s completed:

  • Speed humps and chicanes
  • Kerb build-outs
  • New lighting poles installed


Location: Coronation Road (Between 146 Coronation Road and Hastie Avenue)

What’s completed:

  • New bus drop-off zone for Māngere Education Centre
  • Upgraded bus stops
  • New raised pedestrian & cycle crossing at the Mountain Road roundabout entrance
  • New separated cycleway


Location 3: Coronation Road Roundabout (near BP Station)

What’s completed: Roundabout upgrades

Still to come: Push button crossing to be connected

A new signalised crossing will also be installed here to make it easier for people on bikes and on foot to cross the road. The crossing is a push-button crossing, meaning the lights will only change when someone presses the button to cross safely.

The crossing connects to the new cycleway on the park side of the road, keeping riders away from the busy BP and church driveways.


Stage 2 (April to May 2025)

Location: Outside Māngere Bridge School

What’s completed:

  • New sharedpath connecting to new cycleway on Coronation Road to Māngere
  • Raised pedestrian crossing on the corner of Taylor Road and Coronation Road (outside The Gaff Café)
  • New road markings from Woodward Avenue to the Taylor/Coronation Road intersection

Work Staging Plan

We won’t cover the whole route all at once but will focus on one or two areas at a time. This way, we can speed up the work and minimise disruptions.


Please remember that our timelines and plans might change.


How will it affect you?
Expect some delays, traffic congestion, and changes to parking may occur. Clear signage and traffic management will be in place to ensure everyone's safety.


Buses will be running but there will be temporary bus stops while we upgrade the current ones along the route.


Businesses will be open. Construction works will not be in the Māngere Bridge Village shops and Māngere Town Centre.

Why this project is important for Māngere


Supporting a fast-growing community
Māngere is thriving, but growth brings challenges such road safety, congestion, and the need for better transport options. This project tackles those challenges by creating safer streets and sustainable travel choices.

Protecting tamariki and whānau
Whānau and schools have raised concerns about tamariki walking or biking on busy roads. These upgrades aim to make their journeys safer, giving everyone the confidence to travel actively.

Auckland Airport Access
Over 30,000 people currently work at Auckland Airport and the surrounding area, and this number is projected to grow to 90,000 by 2044. Currently, reliable and timely transport options are limited by a lack of choice, and it is not possible to meet the growing demand with road capacity alone. The Māngere West Cycling Improvements will fill a missing link to the airport from Ngā Hau Māngere bridge and will provide a sustainable, affordable, and reliable transport option for locals and commuters.

Encouraging active travel & reducing carbon emissions
Safe spaces for walking and biking promote healthier, affordable transport options while reducing carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future for Māngere.



Building Māngere's confidence on bikes

Alongside providing safer infrastructure for walking and cycling, we’re planning to deliver a range of initiatives to help people feel capable and confident about taking more trips by bike. These may include e-bike trials, learn-to-ride courses, and community group rides. We’ll be promoting these in the local community in the coming months.
