CONTINUALLY IMPROVING WHAT WE DO
With a project of this scale, our team continuously
challenges the way it constructs each part of the
job and seeks to identify sections of work that can
be accelerated in order to deliver benefits to the
community and motorists sooner.
We recently made the decision to partially open
the new Takanini northbound on-ramp earlier
than planned so the construction crews could
gain access to the area required to build the new
off-ramp.
Opening the project in stages as each section is
complete will mean motorists experience benefits
sooner, helping to remove bottlenecks and ease
congestion in this busy area.
WORK OVER THE HOLIDAY SEASON
As the festive season approaches, it's a busy time on the project, such as around the Takanini Interchange,
