Safety alliance
The Agency are in the process of establishing a Safety Alliance. The focus of this planning and design alliance will be to accelerate the delivery of safety improvement projects nationally.
Northland will benefit from a number of corridor improvements as illustrated above
Rest Area Strategy
The Agency will be working in collaboration with NRC and Northland Inc to develop a rest area strategy. Suggest that an update be brought to the next RTC
Planning
We are in the final stages of selecting a preferred option for the Loop Road Intersection. This has been developed in consultation with local communities, WDC and Iwi. Expect to be able to announce in July.
The Springfield to Mata section has been extended to include SH1 up to SH15A. The main focus of the project is addressing safety – in particular crossing the centreline – however resilience and efficiency benefits are also being considered. IBC expected to be concluded in August.
Construction
Akerama construction works are progressing well with the establishment of sediment controls
Wangarei Corridor Improvements project updates are:
Wilson to Fourth : Construction underway
Selwyn : construction largely complete
Kensington to Manse : NOR and consents for lodged with Council
Central : Handover completed
Tarewa : Consultation and safety audit completed
Brynderwyns construction works main earthworks completed.

Awaiting the outcome of the National Land Transport Programme to confirm funding
Expected that the CMPs will be funded so that we can establish a series of Programme Business Cases
W2A - A review of the current strategy is underway. Expected to report to our Board in August.
Inland Freight Route – A joint CMP with FNDC and WDC. Opportunity to engage with Iwi and local community
Focus will then be on Whanagarei to Bay of Islands and Kerikeri – Waipapa
As part of the corridor reviews we will consider how replacement of one way bridges can contribute to safety and resilience benefits.
