First projects to start in January 2026
The first two projects in the Northwest water and roading upgrades programme get under way in the week of 5 January 2026.
Memorial Avenue and Greers Road water supply pipe replacement
Work starts on Memorial Avenue before moving onto Greers Road and heading north to finish just short of the intersection with Wairakei Road.
The work on Memorial Avenue, between 216 and the Greers Road intersection, is expected to be finished by early February 2026. The whole project is due to be completed in July.
Detours and other traffic management will be in place.

Morrison Avenue and Langdons Road water supply pipe replacement
Work starts on Langdons Road between Oakland Street and the western entrance to Northlink. Traffic on this section of Langdons Road will follow a one-way system westbound.
After the work on Langdons Road has finished, our contractor will move onto Morrison Avenue and progress northwards to the Sawyers Arms Road intersection.
The Langdons Road component will be finished by mid-February, with the whole project due to be completed in mid-April.

Coming up in 2026
Check the map below to see the other projects starting in 2026. We’ll update this page with details on each project before it starts.
Starting January 2026, pipe replacement and transport projects in the area will get underway as part of a coordinated work programme spanning two years.
Aging wastewater and water supply pipes will be replaced and, in some cases, upsized to meet increasing demand.
A new separated cycleway will be built on Matsons Avenue, connecting the recently constructed cycleway on Aorangi Road to Harewood Road as part of the NorWest Arc cycleway, and on the north side of Harewood Road as part of the Wheels to Wings Cycleway, connecting to the Northern Line cycleway.
Street renewals and resurfacing will improve safety and traffic flow on Condell Avenue, Matsons Avenue and Harewood Road.
We know road works can be frustrating. We’ve carefully planned our programme to reduce disruption, keep traffic flowing, and get out of the way as quickly as possible.
Combining three waters and transport projects means we can plan the programme to reduce disruption, keep traffic flowing, and get out of the way as quickly as possible.
The first projects will start in January 2025, and the last project is expected to be completed in March 2028.
We’ll update this page with details as each project gets underway.
Traffic management will be in place for each project within this programme. We’ve carefully planned our programme to reduce disruption and keep traffic flowing.
In partnership with our contractors, we’ll make sure there’s clear information on any detours or other changes to traffic flows throughout the duration of the programme.
We’ll keep this page updated with details, including links to individual Start Works Notices for each project as they get started.
