Tamaki Drive Cycle Route Construction Project for Auckland Waterfront

The Tamaki Drive Cycle Route Construction project involves construction of the 2.3km cycleway on Quay Street and Tamaki Drive from the existing Quay Street Cycleway Extension (west of The Strand) to Ngapipi Bridge. The project provides a high quality, safe and attractive cycle route, suitable for people cycling of all ages, abilities and confidence levels.

The route is part of the Urban Cycleway Programme (UCP) and forms part of the Waterfront and City Journey Corridor, it is part of the Auckland Cycle Network (ACN) that provides the key connection between Glen Innes � Tamaki Drive Shared Path and the city centre.

The proposed cycleway is a 2.8m wide bi-direction off-road cycleway on the northern side of Quay Street and Tamaki Drive, it will be separated from traffic lanes by a landscaped strip and from the existing shared path by the existing grass berm. A new pedestrian bridge will be constructed approximately 1m north of the existing Point Resolution Estuary Bridge.

The existing shared path on the Point Resolution Estuary Bridge will be converted to continue the bi-directional cycleway. As part of the cycleway project AT has decided to undertake some additional work to reduce the impact of flooding of Tamaki Drive caused by storm and high tide events.

This work will require raising of the road and berm level by up to 500mm adjacent to the Lilliput Minigolf and west of the Ngapipi Bridge.
