The NZ Transport Agency says excavation work for the first of the Waterview Connection's two 2.4 kilometre-long motorway tunnels beneath suburban Auckland is on-track to begin next year, with today's ceremonial ground-breaking for a 30 metre deep trench needed for the construction of the project's twin tunnels.
Collaboration and consistent messaging are key ingredients in an initiative launched recently between the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) and Waikato Regional Council. The aim of this work is to assist the NZTA, the region's councils and road safety partners to significantly reduce Waikato's road related fatalities and serious injury crashes.
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) advises speed restrictions will be in place around the intersection of Ruffell Road and State Highway 1 from next week as work on the Te Rapa section of the Waikato Expressway enters its final stages.
