The intersection of State Highway 23 and State Highway 39 in Whatawhata was identified as high-risk and options to make it safer were invstigated.
In 2023, we completed a feasibility study investigating safety improvements for the intersection of State Highway 23 (SH23) and State Highway 39 (SH39) in Whatawhata.
As part of this we engaged with the community, which helped inform the detailed design.

The project was then put forward for construction funding in 2024 to be considered as part of the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport (GPS). This project was not prioritised to be funded via the next 2024-27 National Land Transport Programme (NLTP).
The design and planning work for this project will be kept for future assessment, however nothing will be implemented at present.
