Port Marsden Highway to Te Hana (where the route will meet the Auckland motorway network) is the second stage of the Whangarei to Te Hana project.
This section of State Highway 1 (SH1) is a long-term programme of investment that will improve safety, reliability and resilience of the network. The improvements will reduce the cost of travel for the freight industry, and improve the ability of Northland to attract investment and tourism.
In mid-2018 the Whangarei to Te Hana programme was re-evalauted by the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) to align it with the NZ Government's priorities outlined in the Government Policy Statement (GPS) on Land Transport. Re-evaluation was completed in October 2018, with the NZTA announcing the recommended programme of works, which for the Port Marsden Highway to Te Hana section included:
-safety improvements,
-upgrades to alternative routes to SH1 between Port Marsden Highway and Te Hana, and
-route protection for a bypass of Brynderwyn Hills
Further details on section funding, scope and timing will be available once all project re-evaluations are completed by NZTA, expected in December 2018. Construction timing will be based on prioritisation of projects nationally.
Originally, two options were shortlisted for the Bynderwyn Hills Bypass. They were approximately 15-20km long and avoid areas of significant cultural and environmental value. The total estimated cost of the section was $500 million - $800 million.
