September 2024

Aerial footage of Te Whau Pathway construction from the North Western Cycleway through to Te Atatū Boat Club and beyond, September 2024. In the first 60 seconds, you can see the pathway’s curve emerging between the North Western Cycleway and Bridge Ave.

The second 80 seconds highlights progress on the Bridge Ave to Roberts Road connection, with the bright stripes of yellow and white deck protection material.

The yellow stripe is made from hard plastic boards that stop the pathway’s deck being damaged as we move machinery on wheels and tracks back and forth along the finished deck. The white stripe is a geotextile cloth that guards against possible ‘tan lines’ or sunfading that might appear when the yellow ‘brute boards’ covering the middle of the pathway deck are finally removed.
