An independent inquiry has approved the NZ Transport Agency's $700 million proposal to construct the Northern Corridor Improvements motorway project in Auckland.
The project aims to provide an alternative motorway route from South Auckland to the North Shore aside from over the Harbour Bridge.
The new road will be the final link of Auckland's Wester Ring Route and provide an uninterrupted motorway-to-motorway connection along the Hobsonville (SH18), Northwestern (SH16) and Southwestern (SH20) Motorways.
The project will also upgrade the Upper Harbour Highway in Auckland's North Shore to a motorway, and extend the Northern Busway from Constellation Drive to the Albany park-and-ride station.
The Independent Board of Inquiry was appointed by the Minister for the Environment, to make a decision on the Northern Corridor Improvements project because it was considered infrastructure of national significance.
