About the Project
We’re upgrading a section of Seacliffe Avenue, between Wiscombe Street and Montgomery Avenue to make it stronger, safer and ready for future growth in Belmont, as part of our Summer Road Reno regular road maintenance programme.
This upgrade is more than just a new road surface – it’s an investment in the future of Takapuna.
Our work will make the road stronger, safer, and better prepared for bad weather.
This 6-week upgrade will be done in two phases. We’ll be improving stormwater drainage, rebuilding the road foundation, and resurfacing the road.
The Summer Road Reno renewals programme is part of our ongoing investment to maintain and improve Auckland’s transport network, making roads safer, more reliable, and helping to keep Auckland moving.

Helps prepare for more growth and traffic in the area
How travel is affected:
Phase 1 Day works
During the day (6.30am – 7.30pm) resident access will be managed. Additional traffic management to be shared on our website.
Expect slower speeds while travelling through the area.
Clear signs will be in place and traffic managers will help keep things moving.
Things you should know:
Plan ahead. Please follow the signs and drive carefully.
Follow detour signs
Check signs & AT Mobile for updated bus route changes
The work we’ll be doing and traffic management & detours
We’ll be doing work in stages for approximately 8 weeks. We’ll be working from 7am – 7pm to deliver this project as quickly as possible. We know construction can be disruptive.
We aim to start work on time but factors outside our control, such as weather, could mean a delayed timeline. If the delay is significant, we’ll let you know and update the webpage regularly.
In advance of our start date there will be digital signs set up along the route to inform the community about the closure and traffic directions for surrounding roads, also see the maps on our webpage.
Expect traffic delays, especially during peak times. Bus stops could be affected – please use the AT mobile app or the QR codes on posters at Bus Stops for more information.
Follow all traffic signs, signals, and directions for safety. Take care while driving, walking, or cycling in the area.
Driveway and vehicle access to properties could be restricted when we work outside your property. If your driveway is restricted, you will need to park nearby and walk home. On-street parking will be limited.
Vehicle access to properties we are working near will not be available during concrete pours and potentially whilst the concrete cures. Residents will be contacted 24 – 48 hours prior to the concrete pours to help accommodate any specific needs.
Footpaths will remain accessible to local residents.
Council waste and recycling collection will continue as normal. If access to your bin collection spot is restricted, our team will assist you with an alternative location.
We’ll try to keep noise levels down and we apologise for the inconvenience.
If your driveway is restricted, you will need to park nearby and walk home or to your place of business.

Where we’ll be working
Before the work starts, digital signs will be set up along the route and near the town centre to inform the community about the closure and traffic directions for surrounding roads.
You can download maps here on our website. We appreciate your patience during this work
Benefits to the Community
Safer journeys for everyone
A smoother, more reliable road means fewer potholes and safer conditions for all road users – including drivers, cyclists, bus passengers, and people walking.
Better stormwater drainage
Upgraded drainage systems will help reduce surface flooding during heavy rain, protecting nearby homes, properties, and the road itself.
Longer-lasting road
By laying a strong concrete foundation beneath the surface, we’re building a road that’s expected to last for the next 20+ years with fewer repairs needed.
Environmentally responsible
Around 50% of the existing road material will be recycled and reused in other Auckland road projects, reducing waste and supporting sustainability.
Future-proofing for growth
Torbay is a growing community. This work helps prepare Glenvar Road for more traffic in the years ahead, keeping the area moving safely and efficiently.
