Artists impression of the new Pakuranga Bus Station and Reeves Road Flyover (Eastern Busway Stage 2)
The Eastern Busway is a critical transport infrastructure for East Auckland, with significant potential benefits to public transport, private vehicles, walking and cycling.
The Howick Local Board recently provided feedback on the Notice of Requirement for Stage 2 (Pakuranga Bus Station and Reeves Road Flyover). We've asked the project to make sure they do everything they can to mitigate the impact of construction on local businesses, organisations and residents.

On the Saturday 1 April, the Minister for Transport and the Mayor officially turned the first sod of the next stage of the project, formally kicking off construction. It's been a long time coming, but it's great to see the progress happening.
First up is the extension of William Roberts Road, which will help provide an alternative route when Reeves Road is closed to build the new flyover. Keep track of the progress and find our more at http://easternbusway.nz
