This project involved comprehensive improvements at a highly congested intersection in Harewood, requiring significant planning and coordination to minimise disruption and ensure seamless integration with surrounding infrastructure.

The scope of work for this project presented several unique challenges, due to the high traffic volume and the need for precise coordination with other ongoing works. However, through careful planning, effective traffic management, and close collaboration with Chorus and Orion, we were able to complete the project successfully with minimal disruption. The result is an upgraded, safer, and more efficient intersection that benefits both motorists and pedestrians while enhancing the surrounding area.
