The Rotary Clubs of West Auckland are partnering with NZ Transport Agency and HEB Construction by holding a mid-construction public walk of the Hobsonville Motorway.

The walk, on Sunday 21st Feb, will take the route which spans 6.3km of the new motorway from Clarks Lane footbridge continuing to Trig Road Bridge, SH16/SH18 flyover and then onto Brigham Creek Road/SH16. Cyclists on mountain bikes can cycle the route from 9am to 10am and pedestrians can start the walk at 10am. There are stops at several points along the way with a main marquee at Trig Road site office.

The Rotary Clubs of West Auckland will be collecting a $5 entry fee with all proceeds going to two charitable causes, a new heart defibrillator (emergency device) for the recently opened St John Ambulance station in Whenuapai and a new training vehicle for the local NZ Fire Service in Waitakere.

Registration and payment of the entry fee is at Clarks Lane. Access to the carpark is only from Hobsonville Road via Sinton Road in Hobsonville. A wristband will be given on entry and includes a free bus ride back to the start of the route. Buses will be running throughout the day to pick up and drop off people at Clarks Lane, Trig Road and Brigham Creek Road/SH16. Dogs on a lead are allowed on the route but are not permitted on buses.
