THE NORTHERN CORRIDOR
IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
The Northern Corridor Improvements Project is the last link in the
Western Ring Route, connecting the north with the west long SH1
and SH18. Major benefits of completing the Northern Corridor
Improvements Project include:
• A second high quality, high capacity route for north-south travel
through Auckland that avoids the central city
• A resilient and alternative route for freight between Northland
and the rest of the country
• Easing pressure on the surrounding local road network in
Albany, North Harbour and further north and north-west
• Improving public transport options by extending the
successful Northern Busway
• More than 7kms of new safe shared cycling
and walking facilities.
