NORANA ESPLANADE WALKWAY
The Norana Esplanade Walkway project has been constructed from Mahunga Drive along the coast, through Norana Reserve, to Favona Road in Mangere, Auckland. This new shared path enables a safe and leisurely connection for pedestrians, cyclists and the community to enjoy.
Works include the construction of 3.65km of 2.5m wide at-grade concrete footpath; 8 no. 2.5-3m wide elevated timber boardwalks totalling over 630lm; a 14m span 630m x 135m gluman bridge installed across tidal stream; and various minor stormwater crossings, retaining walls, root bridges for tree protection along the route.
Oxcon, CLL Auckland Council and Sustainable Coastlines joined forces to organise a coastal clean-up around the newly-completed shared path. The clean-up took place on the morning of Saturday 14th March 2020 and was a huge success with a large quantity of rubbish collected. This new boardwalk is certainly an asset the community can be proud of.
