Integrated Transport InterchangeWaitakere Central’s new transport interchange is scheduled to open in May 2006.
The Council is taking the lead in the Waitakere Central Transport Interchange project, designed as a pivotal connection for buses, trains, taxis, cyclists and pedestrians. It is planned to include a drop-off area and park n ride facility.
Construction of the double tracking of the rail line from west of New Lynn to north of Henderson is planned from March to December 2005. It is intended that by mid 2006 Waitakere City will have improved rail services to Henderson with a functioning transport interchange and connected Civic Centre.
Railway platform facilities will adhere to a standard regional design. However, the concept design provides for additional canopy shelter, a covered overbridge and escalator access.
