The Northland Corridor is a 100km stretch of highway connecting Auckland to Northland, split into three stages. <\/p>\n
The Warkworth-Te Hana road is expected to be finished by 2034. <\/p>\n
Phase two focuses on Te Hana to Port Marsden, including the alternative to the Brynderwyn Hills, and phase three is Port Marsden to Whang\u0101rei. <\/p>\n
The 17km Brynderwyn Hills section between Kaiwaka and Waip\u016b is being prioritised for route protection and regional resource consents to address \u201ccritical resilience issues\u201d, Robertson said. <\/p>\n
Focusing on the Brynderwyn Hills alternative section would provide the long-term solution to severe slips and road closures, he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cPushing on with route protection will give landowners more certainty, support future planning, and enable a flexible delivery pipeline for the full corridor between Te Hana and Whang\u0101rei,\u201d Robertson said. <\/p>\n
The NZTA board endorsed the Northland Corridor Te Hana to Whang\u0101rei investment case last August, meaning the project could progress to route protection. <\/p>\n
This ensures a credible pipeline of high-value infrastructure projects is ready when funding is confirmed over future years. <\/p>\n
