Traffic Planning for Gateway to the North: State Highway 1 Realignment Case Study

Traffic Planning Consultants (TPC) assessed the feasibility of a proposed State Highway 1 realignment north of Auckland, known as Gateway to the North (GTTN). The route aimed to bypass the Brynderwyn Hills and was evaluated as an alternative to NZTA’s shortlisted options. TPC’s assessment confirmed GTTN as technically viable, with a shorter route, lower environmental impact, and better use of existing infrastructure, leading to its inclusion in NZTA’s shortlist for further investigation.
