About the project
Karangahape Road is a colourful and popular destination, with a flourishing residential and business community. As one of the busiest roads in the region, thousands of people travel along it daily. This growth is set to continue with a projected one million more people expected to call Auckland home over the next 30 years.
Once the City Rail Link’s Karanga-a-Hape Station (Karangahape) opens with entrances on Mercury Lane and Beresford Square there will be an influx of new people arriving and departing daily from Karangahape Road.
We have made the area a more attractive place for businesses, shopping, residents, visitors and other users while making sure it is ready for the changes ahead.

What’s involved
We've provided more transport choices with a growing network of cycle ways, improved public transport, better pedestrian connections and upgraded street environments to create a sense of community – a destination rather than a thoroughfare.
The changes have enhanced an already vibrant and dynamic street life to create an accessible, people friendly public spaces. This has been done by:
- decluttering footpaths creating more space for people
- adding a cycleway in each direction connecting to existing and planned cycleways
- adding more bike parking, lighting and street furniture
- adding peak hour bus lanes to improve the reliability and predictably of bus services
- enhancing the natural environment with rain gardens, landscaping, vegetation and trees
- creating more opportunities for outdoor dining and street activities
- creating an environment that reflects Maori cultural values.
Dates
Construction was completed in May 2021.
