Avalon Drive Bypass
- Division: Engineering
- Location: Hamilton
- Started: February 2007
- Cost: $26.6 million
- Client: Transit NZ
- Completed: October 2008
Construction of two major roundabouts, two bridges, and a 2.7km two-lane bypass off Avalon Drive.
The project provided a free-flowing, high-capacity route bypassing a congested section of Avalon Drive from Rotokauri Road to Forest Lake Road.
One of the main challenges was the construction of the Norton Road rail over-bridge with its numerous service diversions, signalling shifts and work running alongside the Main Trunk rail line – one of the busiest rail track lines in the Waikato.
