The decision today by the NZ Transport Agency to endorse the Northwest Busway investment case is welcome news for West Auckland residents, says EMA’s Head of Advocacy, Alan McDonald.
“We’ve seen the success of the Northern Busway in significantly reducing traffic on the Auckland Harbour Bridge,” he says.
“There is no doubt that the Northwest Busway will have a similarly transformative impact on Auckland’s burgeoning north-western suburbs.”
Today’s decision follows other significant infrastructure announcements by the government this week, including the preferred corridor for a four-lane connection over the Brynderwyn Hills to Whangārei, as well as the Tauriko four-laning and Takitimu North projects in Tauranga.
“Together, these major roading projects will generate thousands of jobs and provide much needed work for the construction sector.”
