Project teams have worked hard over the last three weeks to rebuild the Papakura northbound off-ramp, part of important strengthening work needed for the SH1 Papakura to Drury project.

The Papakura ki Pukekura - Papakura to Bombay project is part of a longer-term strategic transport network being investigated and delivered to support growth in South Auckland. Stage 1 of the project, Papakura to Drury, is currently being delivered through the NZ Upgrade Programme.

The off-ramp was scheduled to re-open to motorists from 5am Thursday, one week ahead of schedule.
