Description
Description | A major project to replace rail level crossings in Takanini and Glen Innes in New Zealand with eight new bridges has started. Pre-construction works have begun, with main construction of new bridges at Takanini, Te Mahia and Glen Innes stations commencing in summer. The project aims to support more frequent trains, improve safety, keep traffic moving, and enhance urban areas. Auckland Council and the Government, through the New Zealand Transport Agency, have brought forward funding to allow delivery of the Takanini and Glen Innes level crossing removal projects. Auckland Transport is also planning to replace level crossings on the Western Line to prepare for future passenger growth. Essential work on road bridges, including property acquisition, geotechnical investigations, design development, tendering for construction contractors, and community engagement, is underway. |
