Kia ora, welcome to the SH2 Ōmokoroa Road intersection upgrade project page. Here, you’ll find everything you need to know about the project, including latest updates, frequently asked questions, and a timeline of upcoming steps. Check out the information on the right-hand side of this page for all this and more.

Update - 12 February 2025

What’s happened recently?

Our teams have been busy over the past couple of months, with relocation of services such as power, water, streetlight cables and stormwater pipes complete. 

Most of the earthworks in the north-east corner are finished and we’re now working on pavement construction and road surfacing.

You might also notice work happening on the southern side of Ōmokoroa Road. This is to relocate telecommunications services alongside the road. 

What’s coming up?

From the end of February, initial work on the State Highway 2 stage of the roundabout will begin.

There will be speed restrictions and lane changes on the state highway during the day and stop/go in place overnight to allow our teams to work on the northbound entry to the new roundabout. This work should take around six weeks.

In the first week of March, road users on State Highway 2 will begin using a temporary roundabout.

During this stage of works, traffic travelling through the site will be impacted. Please be prepared for changes in the road layout and follow all speed restrictions while this important piece of work is done. Keep an eye out for our friendly traffic management teams who will help guide you through safely. We thank road users for their continued patience.



About this project

The State Highway 2 Ōmokoroa Road intersection upgrade will address safety and capacity issues and unlock housing potential in Ōmokoroa.

The upgrade will include:

  • a new interim roundabout at the State Highway 2 Ōmokoroa Road intersection with four-lane tapers and highway improvements
  • four-laning on Ōmokoroa Road from SH2 to Prole Road
  • a new roundabout, servicing the industrial area, at the future Francis Road intersection.
  • the closure and relocation of driveways opposite the state highway intersection onto Youngson Road.

This is a minimum 10-year interim solution to address the immediate needs of the intersection, until funding becomes available to build a full interchange.
