Work has begun on the link lane between Sandringham Rd and Eden Park, to especially give RWC patrons more direct walking access to the park.

Attention has shifted for the time being from the Kingsland station upgrade to the footpath widening and other pedestrian improvements around that area of Sandringham Rd between New North Rd and Walters Rd.

That work includes:

Creating a new one way road between Sandringham Rd and Walters Rd. This is a “shared space.” It will be for pedestrians only during games but otherwise can be used for vehicles one way.
Widening Sandringham Rd between Onslow Rd and Burnley Terrace and creating new footpaths
Putting underground overhead electric cables
Creating a new public space at the intersection of Walters Rd
Relocating three houses within their existing boundaries (30-34 Sandringham Rd)
Shifting the road south-eastwards to allow for the Kingsland station upgrade
Creating a new pedestrian crossing near the intersection of Walters and Sandringham Rds
Creating a new southbound bus lane
Improved lighting
Footpath and kerb upgrades
Water main and gas pipe renewals
