Panmure to Pakuranga (AMETI phase 2)

Public Information Day

There'll be a new public information day on the two phases of the AMETI project at the Te Tuhi Centre for the Arts at 13 Reeves Road, Pakuranga on Saturday 20 July 2013.    See what's been achieved as Phase 1 moves toward completion, and find out what is in Phase 2 and how we will all benefit from the  full project.

The completion of the first two phases will see reduced congestion in areas that were previously problematic. Public
transport will become a more attractive option with better roads and better rail and bus connections. With seven
kilometres of new cycle paths and six kilometres of new footpaths, travelling on foot or cycle will also have new
appeal.

Work on AMETI Phase Two: Panmure to Pakuranga will include:

  • Upgrading the Panmure roundabout to a traffic light intersection
  • A new busway from Panmure Station to Pakuranga town centre along the north side of Lagoon Drive and Pakuranga Rd,
  • A new Panmure bridge to be built alongside the existing one
  • A new bus station at Pakuranga town centre
  • New sets of traffic lights around Pakuranga town centre to improve access
  • New local road connections through Pakuranga town centre to improve connectivity
  • Improved amenities along all Pakuranga town centre streets
  • Construction of a Reeves Road flyover to create a direct link from Pakuranga Road to Waipuna Bridge for
    commuter traffic 

See details of Phase 2 below.

Phase Two Background

The second phase of AMETI includes upgrading Panmure roundabout to an intersection and building a new busway from Panmure Station to Pakuranga town centre.

About 60,000 vehicles a day use the roundabout, it has a poor crash record and traffic gets backed up along all roads approaching it, including those from Pakuranga. ​

 ​
  • Panmure to Pakuranga

    • Buses also get stuck in the same congestion, meaning public transport isn’t a good option.

    AMETI Phase Two, will provide the next stage of transport improvements for the area after those being built in the Panmure Station area are complete in 2014.

    Together, the improvements will reduce major congestion in the area, for example reducing queues on Lagoon Drive, Church Cres and Queen’s Rd.

    It will also get more people onto public transport and make walking and cycling better options.
