Press Release – New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency is advising North Shore drivers to get ready for big changes to how they travel on State Highway 18 (SH18) when a new eastbound off-ramp at Paul Matthews Road opens at 5am on Tuesday 27 April. The changes are necessary as part of the Northern Corridor Improvements (NCI) project. “This layout change is required to enable work to progress in the construction zone so that we have the space to build the north bound connections,” says Waka Kotahi National Manager Infrastructure Delivery Andrew Thackwray. “The nature of this work means it will cause some disruption to road users, but when finished the Northern Corridor Improvements will provide much better transport options on the North Shore for freight, cars, pedestrians and cyclists.”
