Roadworks - 36 Sandspit Road, Warkworth
Customers travelling from Sandspit, Snells Beach, Algies Bay and Martin’s Bay. The below message is one copied from Facebook.
WARKWORTH ROAD WORKS: Auckland Council and our contractor, Wharehine, have begun work to replace the retaining wall at 36 Sandspit Road, Warkworth.
The work will strengthen the road and stabilise the slope. It includes installing a new steel H-pile retaining wall and drainage, followed by reinstatement of the road surface. The project was previously planned by Auckland Transport and will now be managed and delivered by Auckland Council.
Where: 36 Sandspit Road, Warkworth
When: 27 October to 11 December 2026
Work hours: 7am to 7pm
What to expect: A large piling drill rig will be transported to the site and set up within the work area. Due to its size and complexity, it will remain on site 24 hours a day during piling operations.Detour:Traffic travelling from Snells Beach to Warkworth can continue past the work site. Traffic travelling from Warkworth and State Highway 1 to Snells Beach will be detoured via Matakana Road and Sharp Road, adding about four minutes to the journey. Please follow all signs and directions from traffic controllers. All buses will follow the proposed detour route alongside general traffic.
Contact us
For general enquiries, email: atengagement@at.govt.nz.
For questions about the construction work, email: Matt Thomas at mthomas@wharehine.co.nz
We will aim to minimise disruption, but a full lane closure will be needed while the retaining wall is replaced. We understand this may cause delays; however, the closure will allow the work to be completed as quickly as possible. Dates may change due to weather or unexpected delays. We will let you know if there are any significant changes. Thank you for your patience while we complete this work.
