A portion of the funding is also being used for upgrading the Maioro motorway interchange in New Windsor. The funds will also pay for the $70 million upgrade of Auckland’s Northwestern Motorway beyond Henderson. The funds will pay for completion of the delayed alternative route around the Super City, between Albany and Manukau. The upgrade will provide a bus shoulder and three traffic lanes in each direction to Westgate.

Separate funding worth $315 million was also made by the government to create a motorway-to-motorway connection between State Highway 1 and the 47km long ring route that is due for completion by 2021.
