Tiverton Road Upgrade Begins
Work starts today upgrading a section of New Windsor’s Tiverton Road to support Transit New Zealand’s State Highway 20 Mt Roskill extension.
This is the first stage of Auckland City’s $17 million Tiverton Road and Wolverton Street project, which will strengthen the key corridor between Auckland and Waitakere cities and make it a safer and more efficient link to State Highway 20.
The work involves building two retaining walls along the service lane on the south side of Tiverton Road and widening the road to four lanes.
Disruption to traffic during work on stage one will be minor. However, there will be reduced lane width while Auckland City’s contractors, Dempsey and Wood, widen the road to four lanes.
Stage one is anticipated to be completed by July 2007, weather permitting.
