Work underway at Half Moon Bay ferry terminal
Transport Minister Simon Bridges has marked the start of construction today to upgrade the ferry terminal at Half Moon
Bay which will become a key hub for a new east Auckland public transport network.
The $5.9 million upgrade will improve access for passengers as well as safer truck movements associated with the
vehicular ferry terminal.
“This project is part of the Government’s committed to provide infrastructure that delivers better integrated solutions
for urban transport networks,” Mr Bridges says.
“The passenger ferry service from Half Moon Bay provides a fast, reliable alternative route to the city and the
improvements will ensure it can keep up with current and future increased demand.
“A new park and ride facility at nearby Lloyd Elsmore Park will provide an extra 100 parking spaces, with a weekday bus
shuttle connecting passengers to the ferry terminal.
“As well as better shelter from the elements for ferry passengers, the upgraded facilities will also provide covered
cycling storage and nearby bus stops to ensure the best all-weather facilities for all types of transport users.”
Construction is expected to be completed later this year.
