Victoria Street Cycleway Extension

We're excited to announce that Victoria Street Cycleway is being extended. Currently, the cycleway runs from the bottom of College Hill to Nelson Street. From September this year, we will begin work to extend the cycleway to Federal Street. Construction is expected to be completed by late 2024, in readiness for the opening of the first stage of Te Hā Noa.

At Federal Street, it will connect with a two-way cycleway being constructed between Federal Street and Albert Park, part of the streetscape upgrades associated with Te Hā Noa and the City Rail Link’s Te Waihorotiu Station.

The extension of Victoria Street Cycleway is an interim solution, until the next phases of Te Hā Noa (extending all the way from Victoria Park to Albert Park) are complete in the future.

The extension of Victoria Street Cycleway closes a gap between the existing and new sections of cycleway. It will be constructed from materials that are less disruptive to install and can easily be replaced when the time comes for a full street makeover.

It makes sense to deliver this connection now, to close a gap in the cycling network and give people the option to cycle along a safe, direct route into midtown. The Victoria Street Cycleway links the city centre, Victoria Park, and other key destinations.
