Abstract

A groundbreaking development is in progress in Pakūranga with the construction of Rā Hihi, a flyover that’s set to soar above Reeves Road and across Tī Rākau Drive. It’s an important part of the Eastern Busway project that will improve travel times and ease congestion in the area. Establishing this direct link between the South Eastern Highway and Pakūranga Road will help to reduce traffic along Pakūranga Road and Tī Rākau Drive, particularly during peak hours.

Come along to this site visit to see some of the recently completed bridge piers, as well as the first few Super T beams. You’ll have an opportunity to hear about the project from the Eastern Busway Alliance team of representatives from AT, Fletcher, ACCIONA, AECOM and Jacobs who are constructing Rā Hihi and the busway from Pakūranga towards Botany.
