Albany walking and cycling bridge to be installed
The newest walking and cycling bridge on the North Shore will be lifted into place over the Northern Motorway at Spencer Road in Albany next week. The bridge will be installed by alliance crews over a series of nights from Monday 24 September, as part of the Northern Corridor Improvements project.
NZTA says that people will notice the bridge straight away but they still need to take extra care while it’s being installed. The Northern Motorway will be closed from 9pm until 5am between Greville Road and Oteha Valley Road for several weeknights. Drivers are advised to plan ahead, follow the detours and look out for reminders on overhead and electronic signs. The main work will take place on Monday 24, Wednesday 26 September and Monday 1 October.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
