Rosedale Busway Station

Background

The Northern Corridor Improvements Project on Auckland’s North Shore involves a suite of transport improvements including the extension of the Northern Busway alongside the Northern Motorway (SH1) from where it currently ends at Constellation, all the way up to Albany. The new Rosedale Busway Station will be built alongside this new Northern Busway Extension to improve transport options in this busy commercial and industrial hub.

• Direct bus connection from the Rosedale Busway Station to the new Northern Busway Extension, to be built alongside SH1 as part of the NCI project
• Promotes the use of other transport modes as an alternative to private vehicle use

• Improved walking and cycling connections to the new busway station

Key features

Project phases

Planning will continue throughout 2018 as we develop the Rosedale Busway Station design and prepare to apply for consent approval with Auckland Council.

A public consultation campaign will be launched from Monday 29 January 2018 to gather feedback from the community and stakeholder, which will help us with this next planning phase.
