South Eastern Busway
An urban busway between Panmure Station, Pakurganga and Botany is a key part of improving transport choices in the area. The busway would cut journey times significantly and ease pressure on congestion.
The Busway has three sections to it: Panmure, Pakuranga Road and in Pakuranga town centre where a new bus station would be built on Ti Rakau Road.

Reeves Road flyover
The Reeves Road flyover is a new road bridge linking Pakuranga Road to Waipuna Bridge above the current Reeves Road.
The flyover will be above Ti Rakau Drive, reducing congestion at this intersection for buses and traffic making local journeys.
The flyover will also reduce traffic on Pakuranga Road and Ti Rakau Drive outside the town centre.
Construction for this is currently scheduled to begin in 2019.

Improvements to Pakuranga Town Centre
The Reeves Road flyover will traverse the Pakuranga Town Centre and will result in traffic reductions there. This in turn will allow for improvements to the urban environment and development of new facilities.
Better pedestrian access is planned, there will be a new bus station at the town centre serviced by bus lanes on Pakuranga Road, and an improved road layout around the centre.

Walking and cycling improvements
Improving walking and cycling facilities to make them safer and more attractive to use is one of the main aims of AMETI.
Along Pakuranga Road and Ti Rakau Drive, the proposal is to provide cycle lanes within the road corridor with some form of separation from traffic wherever possible, as well as wider footpaths.
