Plans to extend Quay Street Cycleway
Plans have been revealed for the extension of Quay Street Cycleway along Auckland's waterfront.
The two way on-road cycleway, Auckland's busiest cycle route, will continue east to 200 metres west of The Strand. Construction will begin in February 2017 and be complete by the middle of the year.
It will provide the rapidly growing number of people cycling in from east Auckland with more space and improved safety.
Almost 100,000 trips have been made on the Quay Street Cycleway since it was opened in July. The cycle route into the city via Tamaki Drive and Quay Street has more trips per day than other popular routes like the pink Lightpath-Te Ara I Whiti and Northwestern Cycleway.
This project is part of a wider initiative to make it easier to cycle into the city centre along Tamaki Drive.
Auckland Transport is working with project partners Auckland Council and the Government through the NZ Transport Agency and the Urban Cycleways Programme on a $200m programme of cycle improvements from 2015 to 2018. Find out more
