Southerncorridor Displayboards06

An investigation is being undertaken to identify improvements to the Hill Road Interchange off the Southern Motorway in order to address current traffic issues and future proof longer term upgrades planned as part of the Southern Corridor Improvements project. Potential short term solutions being considered include widening the southbound off-ramp, improving the local road network, and widening the bridge to add an additional traffic lane or create space for walking and cycling. Longer term options involve extending the fourth lane added south of the interchange further north to Hill Road. Public feedback is being sought on issues and potential solutions.

What other issues at
Hill Road would you like the
project team to consider?
What do you think of the
potential solutions?
Do you have any other ideas the
team should think about?
Please let us know by leaving
your comments on our feedback
form. Ask a member of the team
if you need assistance.
In addition, there are some short
term improvements which are being
investigated to respond to the most
urgent and serious issues.
Recognised issues:
In the evening peak, trafc heading
south queues back onto the motorway
The narrow bridge provides limited
space for pedestrians and cyclists
Trafc across the bridge is limited to
only two lanes
Potential solutions:
The investigation to date has identied
some possible options:
Widen the southbound of-ramp to
accommodate two lanes
Improvements to the local network
i.e. along Hill Road
Widen the bridge to provide an
additional trafc lane
Widen the bridge to provide a walking
and cycling facility
A northbound fourth lane
sometimes called an auxiliary lane
The Southern Corridor Improvements
will provide three continuous lanes from
Papakura to Hill Road. Rather than joining
as a merge one option is to extend
the fourth lane after Orams Road back
to Hill Road. This early investigation is
considering how to future proof for this.
So what about south facing ramps?
There is no plan at this stage to provide
south facing ramps at Hill Road.
Interchanges need to be approximately
2km apart to work safely and efciently
the distance between Hill Road and
Takanini would be less than this between
the end of the on-ramp and start of the
of-ramp.
South facing ramps may attract more
trafc to Hill Road which may cause
issues for local trafc and residents.
An early investigation of Hill Road Interchange is being
undertaken so that longer term improvements can be future
proofed as part of the Southern Corridor Improvements.
