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.
What's happening now? (16 October 2024)
This project is going ahead in leaps and bounds with a lot of dirt being moved over the past few months.
In fact, since clearing all the trees and vegetation in the area that will be the new Ōmokoroa Rd approach to the roundabout, the teams have shifted around 14000 cubic metres of dirt, installed and relocated numerous services and placed the first two layers over aggregate plus some kerb and channel.
Work is also well underway on the Youngson Road approach and a new accessway for residents on the corner of SH2 and Youngson Rd.
The next big step is relocating of overhead Power and Telco services. Which is a mammoth challenge.
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.

Lifecycle
How does the intersection upgrade link with housing development?
State Highway 2 Ōmokoroa Road intersection upgrade is currently at this stage
The current intersection is a barrier to critical development required to support population growth in Ōmokoroa, and the wider region. The upgrade enables development to occur across the Peninsula by improving the existing safety and capacity issues at the intersection.
This project also provides developers across the Peninsula with the certainty they need.
When the upgrade is complete, more than 900 new homes are expected to be built by 2029 - including a mix of standalone homes, affordable homes and medium density housing.
