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? (15 November 2024)

It’s been a busy time installing services, stormwater pipes and building the new Youngson Road approach.

We want to say a massive thanks to everyone for your patience while Youngson Road was closed, closing the road gave the team space to complete this section of work quickly, reducing the length of time that people would be inconvenienced.

The team have almost completed the new accessway off Youngson Road too. This will provide a safer access for those that currently access off the state highway.

A big milestone has been relocating the overhead power lines on State Highway 2 which allows us to get on with removing more dirt and building the new road in the area of the future Omokoroa Road approach to the new roundabout. This was a mammoth task with the installation of 12+ poles and five power shutdowns to connect new power lines.

Some of the most challenging work, especially on this job, has been the work that has happened below the ground, often unseen. All of the installation and relocation of services has meant that people living in the area have been able to turn on a tap, switch a light on and off, and continue to watch their Friday night movies with no problems.

The site will shutdown from Friday 20 December 2024 until Tuesday 7 January 2025. Until then works will continue alongside the existing roadways. Traffic management will be similar to what you have seen. Traffic management will be reduced as much as possible over the break.


Eyes on 2025

We’ll continue work in early 2025 and will be focusing on the new approaches to the first roundabout. The site team will continue install of underground services and widening of the existing roadways to create space for the major changes as the new roundabout starts to take shape through 2025. This means there will be speed restrictions will be in place, and lane shifts in operation. So be prepared to watch out for change in the road layout and keep an eye out for our friendly traffic management teams who will help guide you through the site safely.


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.
