A completion party for a jolly good causeway

A completion party for a jolly good causeway

Bike Auckland

To celebrate the upgrade of the Northwestern cycleway along the Causeway – and to thank people for their epic patience over the four years (!) of the project – NZTA is throwing a wee party this weekend.

They’ve chosen a great spot: the beautiful green grounds of Unitec, next to where the cycleway runs through (and also handy by foot and train and bus and any combo thereof).

Whether you’re a regular weekday commuter or a weekend rider, swing by on Saturday between noon and 4pm to join the celebration. There’ll be a BBQ and family-friendly activities and of course, plenty of bike parking!

There’s also car-parking too, in the Unitec grounds, if you’d like to park-and-ride. More details below, and on this Facebook page.

If you fancy a jaunt along the refreshed cycleway, it’s about a 15-20 min ride from Unitec to the beautiful new Te Atatu underpass (as seen in the photo on the poster below). Enjoy the fabulous new surface, inspect the shiny new bridges, and do a little birdwatching along the way.

You can also pop over to Waterview to see the newly opened skate park and BMX pump track, which will officially open at 11am the same day – see poster below.

PS High tide at Pt Chev beach at 6pm, if the weather comes to the party and you really want to make a day of it!
