Preparing for the future

Upgrading the intersection ensures that the area is well prepared for changes to the city's transport network and ready for future growth.

Preparing for the completion of State Highway 20 Mt Roskill extension

The completion of the Mt Roskill extension of State Highway 20 in 2009 will see additional traffic diverted through this intersection to access the new motorway on ramps on Sandringham Road Extension.

Improvements to the intersection of Mt Albert and Sandringham roads will ensure that the junction can safely cope with this increase in traffic.

Getting ready for the 2011 Rugby World Cup

Sandringham Road serves as a direct route from State Highway 20 to access the airport and Eden Park. With Eden Park hosting the Rugby World Cup in 2011, the intersection has been identified as a priority to ensure the city is ready for the cup.
