Major Delays on NW Motorway (SH16), Te Atatu Rd 27/12 to 5/1

Major Delays on the Northwestern Motorway (SH16) and Te Atatu Rd
27 December 2014 to 5 January 2015

Te Atatu Interchange Upgrade Project - Introduction

This project is widening the five existing motorway on-ramps and exits at Te Atatu and widening the Northwestern motorway (SH16) between Te Atatu Road and Henderson Creek. It is also enhancing existing facilities for walkers and cyclists and widening and raising the Te Atatu Road over bridge – including building a new pedestrian bridge. Works are due to be completed by December 2016.

Raising the Bridge

The Te Atatu over bridge is made up of three separate structures and these are being raised independently.

The pedestrian bridge on the western side of the interchange was raised between Fri 7 Nov and Mon 10 Nov.

The northbound traffic bridge is being raised over the summer holiday period between 27 Dec and 5 Jan when traffic volumes are quieter.

All works will involve continuous day and night work and require lane reductions both on Te Atatu Rd and SH16.

• During the day SH 16 will be restricted to one lane open in each direction. At night it will be closed in both directions.

Access to and from Te Atatu Peninsula will be restricted to one lane each way - but will remain open at all times.

Gordon Campbell: On Dune 2, And Images Of Islam


Depictions of Islam in Western popular culture have rarely been positive, even before 9/11. Five years on from the mosque shootings, this is one of the cultural headwinds that the Muslim community has to battle against.
