Fulton Hogan has formed an alliance with the NZ Transport Agency, HEB Construction, Opus and Jacobs to deliver the $700 million Northern Corridor Improvements project.

The project aims to provide better transport links for the North Shore and an alternative to travelling on State Highway 1 through the central city.

Comprised of several small projects, the programme scope includes:

• Additional traffic lanes on State Highway 1 (SH1) and extension of the northern busway
• A new northbound motorway connection linking State Highway 18 (Upper Harbour Highway) and SH1
• Seven kilometres of new walking and cycling paths
• Construction of Tirohanga Whānui walking and cycling bridge
• A new North Harbour BMX facility and hockey stadium
• An upgrade to Wainoni Park Pony Club and motorway resurfacing

The project will provide safer walking and cycling routes to busway stations and improved journey time for the wider area.
