The project included a new 3-lane 16.8m wide bridge over the motorway, with a shared walking and cycling path, and an additional northbound on-ramp and traffic signals at key intersections.
The Papakura Interchange upgrade will benefit Hingaia and surrounding areas which are projected to grow significantly in the next 10–20 years. Signalising of current intersections will mean safer access to and from the state highway and together with the inclusion of a shared pedestrian and cycle lane, the upgrade will ensure safer journeys for all users. This project is a key component of a series of improvements on the Southern Motorway to help ensure more reliable travel times.
The Papakura interchange upgrade is now complete.
The Transport Agency thanks the community for their continued support, patience and commitment to safety throughout the project.
