Victoria Park Tunnel - Auckland |
|
|
|
The Victoria Park Viaduct is a major motorway viaduct carrying the Auckland Northern Motorway (State Highway 1) over the Victoria Park area in Auckland City, New Zealand. Due to the high traffic volumes passing through on their way to and from North Shore City, and because the viaduct is only four lanes wide in total (while adjacent motorway stretches are at least six lanes), the bridge over the park is considered "one of the country's worst traffic bottlenecks",[1] with around 200,000 vehicles a day.
As of early 2010, preparatory work near the St Mary's Bay onramp has begun. NZTA provide a project website. NZTA have also announced that the Birdcage hotel (sitting over the site of the future tunnel portal) will now be shifted 40m away only temporarily - eventually returning to almost the same site as before, and to become integrated into a new plaza space
