While there is still some surfacing work to be completed on the slip lane, NZTA has opened it to traffic with a temporary coating.
A northbound slip-lane from SH1into Woodcocks Road has also been open since February allowing through traffic on SH1 to keep moving and avoid being held up by left turning traffic.
The SH1/Whitaker Road intersection was reshaped to provide more space for turning traffic and the area regraded to new levels to improve sight distances and traffic movements.
The north and southbound footpaths and driveways between Whitaker Road and Mahurangi Bridge have also been repaved as part of the improvements.
