KiwiRail and Auckland Transport proposed to jointly protect land to enable the future four-tracking of the railway line between Papakura and Pukekohe and a walking and cycling path between Drury and Pukekohe.
We have been unsuccessful in securing the funding needed to continue the project and so it is currently paused.
We are unable to confirm a timeframe for when the project will resume. Funding may be provided through future budgets or National Land Transport Programmes.
The project remains a strategic priority for KiwiRail and Auckland Transport, as outlined in our Strategic Rail Programme which can be found at www.kiwirail.co.nz/srp.
