AT review could see costs of Ōrewa Boulevard climb
The current projected cost for the next stage of Ōrewa Boulevard, from Riverside to Empire Road, is $1.4m but this could climb as Auckland Transport (AT) reviews its cost estimates.
The extension of the pedestrian-friendly boulevard continues work completed by the former Rodney District Council that upgraded Hibiscus Coast Highway from Moana Ave to Riverside Road, and slowed traffic.
The project is a priority for the local board, which hopes to fund it because considerable work, including design and public consultation, has already been done.
At a recent workshop an AT spokesperson told Hibiscus and Bays Local Board members that there is always a chance that costs could blow out for projects, particularly if drainage or other below-ground work is involved.
