Funding tick to complete Eastern Busway
Cost savings and additional funding will allow the final stretch of the Eastern Busway to be built, enabling buses to directly connect to Botany Town Centre on a corridor separate to other traffic.
The final section of busway to be built from Tī Rākau Drive through Guys Reserve Whakamaumahara was previously unfunded, with a plan to provide an interim bus route in general traffic for the final section where Tī Rākau Drive meets Botany Town Centre. NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) and Auckland Council have confirmed $101 million in funding to enable construction of the Botany link route at Guys Reserve. Significant overall programme savings and efficient delivery have helped contribute towards the funding.
Auckland Transport’s Eastern Busway Alliance will start construction in March. Completing the full busway to Botany Town Centre allows it to integrate with the future Airport to Botany Busway, expanding public transport accessibility for South and East Auckland residents.
Work continues at pace to deliver the rest of the Eastern Busway along Tī Rākau Drive.
The Eastern Busway is delivered by an alliance of Auckland Transport with Fletcher Construction, ACCIONA, AECOM and Jacobs , in partnership with mana whenua.
