Update - 15 June 2026
We have postponed Phase 2 of Seacliffe Ave Road Rebuild, which was scheduled to commence Monday 15 June.
The work has been deferred until the July School Holidays. Work will continue onsite to lower the gas mains along Seacliffe Ave, and to reinstate the trenches across the road.
We will share updates as soon as start dates are confirmed for July 2026.
Phase 2: Rebuild
We’re completing work to rebuild a section of Seacliffe Ave, between Winscombe Street and Montgomery Ave (Phase 2), as part of our regular road renewals programme.
Our work has been carried out in two phases. Phase 2 is the second and last phase, which requires full lane closures. Work will take place in June following completion of Phase 1.
Once completed this will make the road stronger, safer, and better prepared for bad weather.
Why two phases?
- Phase 1: Preparation: Completed in June 2026
- Phase 2: Rebuild: Full rebuild and resurfacing for a stronger road
This final phase will take place with a 24/7 lane closure on Seacliffe Ave to deliver these improvements as quickly as possible. One lane will remain for residents only while the works occur, providing restricted vehicle access. Phase 2 includes asphalt resurfacing and will be carried out once the rebuild has been completed.

About the Project
We’re upgrading a section of Seacliffe Avenue, between Winscombe 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 8-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.
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.

- 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.

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.
