NCC was engaged as the lead civil designer for the new roundabout at the intersection of State Highway 1 and Springs Flat Road, as well as the associated connection to Alcoba Street. Our scope included full roading and intersection design, integration of shared path and pedestrian crossing facilities, and provision for future development access. We are also providing construction monitoring services throughout both stages of the works.
This project is being delivered in partnership with NZTA (Waka Kotahi) and Whangārei District Council, with funding support from the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund. It responds to and supports residential and commercial growth in the Te Kamo East, Tikipunga area.
SH1 /Springs Flat Roundabout
Key design elements include:
A new roundabout on SH1 with connections to Springs Flat Rd and Alcoba St
Shared paths along both Springs Flat Rd, Alcoba St and SH1
A signalised pedestrian crossing across SH1 linking the shared path network
Provision for access to a future supermarket/shopping area on Springs Flat Rd.
Integration with the wider Kamo Shared Path in future stages
Alcoba Street Connection
As part of Stage 2, the Alcoba Street connection will improve local accessibility and provide safer walking and cycling links within the Te Kamo East area. NCC designed the extension and associated upgrades to create logical and well-connected routes between residential streets and SH1.
This component includes:
Extension of Alcoba Street to connect SH1 with Gillingham Road via Beacondale Place
A new 3.0.m wide shared path on one side of Alcoba Street, connecting to the Kamo Shared Path
Installation of a raised platform crossing between Pearce Drive and Escalona Street to improve pedestrian safety
