Waka Kotahi is committed to making it safe and easy to choose clean, low-emissions ways of getting around – like providing safe and enjoyable walking and cycling routes. Recreational use will see even more people walking, running and enjoying the path at weekends. More people choosing to walk, run, cycle or scooter means lower emissions from transport and less pressure on our roads and public transport services.īy 2030, we estimate people making over 2000 trips by bike on the path each weekday, as well as 725 walking or running trips and around 160 trips on e-scooters or other devices. Right now, there is no safe walking and cycling route between Wellington and Lower Hutt.īy providing a safe, attractive 5m wide path, separated from vehicle traffic, Te Ara Tupua will make it possible for more people to try new and active ways of getting around. We want to make it possible for people to move around our region in more ways.

Community and stakeholder engagement on concept design. 2019 Start of consenting design phase.2015 Seaward side option confirmed as preferred option for Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One.2013–2014 Initial engagement, investigations and surveys for the project.Offshore habitats: Two small offshore habitats for coastal bird life, constructed of naturalised rock forms, at least 40m horizontal distance from the shoreline.Seawalls are used where necessary to avoid high-value habitat areas. Seawalls: 6 seawall segments protect the shared path, and are approximately 600m in length.The embankments known as ‘revetments’ are designed with the ability to adapt to sea-level rise and are 16m wide on average. Embankments: Sloping embankments will act as a coastal defence to protect the shared path, ūranga and the road rail line behind.Shared path bridge at Ngā Ūranga: A new architecturally designed bridge providing access over the railway.Ūranga (landings): 6 ūranga will be located at key sites along the shared path’s length providing areas for planting, landscaping, habitat creation, and gathering, resting and viewing areas for people to use.Shared Path: A 4.5km shared path with a 5m wide sealed surface on the seaward side of the Hutt Valley Railway Line.Key elements of the Ngā Ūranga to Pito-One section include: View the image gallery (external link) Key elements Waka Kotahi is partnering with Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o te Ika and Ngāti Toa Rangatira as iwi mana whenua, and our other partners include KiwiRail, Hutt City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council and Wellington City Council. Te Ara Tupua Alliance is made up of Waka Kotahi and our design and construction partners Downer NZ, HEB Construction and Tonkin + Taylor. Te Ara Tupua Alliance has been formed to design and construct the project.Ī project alliance is a collaborative team made up of design and construction companies, working together with Waka Kotahi to deliver the project and achieve the best outcomes for the community. For more information please visit the Honiana Te Puni Reserve page. Our construction works at Honiana Te Puni Reserve are underway.
The train is a great option to see what’s happening on the project. Travellers on State Highway 2 are asked to drive safely and keep their eyes on the road. Harbour users are requested to please stay well away from the new offshore construction zone. Marine activity will see barges transport heavy machinery, materials and our crews across the harbour. Work will start on this in late February 2023. This structure will be 90 metres long, and will go opposite the BP fuel station on State Highway 2. Activity is ramping up with a start on temporary wharves, and construction of offshore habitats about to begin.įirst up is the “Karanga” temporary wharf near the mid-point of the project area. Work is now underway on Te Ara Tupua between Ngā Ūranga and Pito-One. It is being delivered in partnership with iwi mana whenua, Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o te Ika, and Ngati Toa Rangatira. The project will provide a safe and attractive route for walking and cycling between the two cities, and a new resilient coastal edge protecting the road and rail. The Ngā Ūranga to Pito-One section of Te Ara Tupua will be built on the harbour’s edge from Ngauranga Interchange to Honiana Te Puni Reserve in Petone and connect with the new Pito-One to Melling section.
