Mackays to Peka Peka Expressway (SH1)

The Mackays to Peka Peka Expressway (SH1) was completed and opened to traffic on 24 February 2017.
The 18km Mackays to Peka Peka section delivers a four-lane expressway through Paraparaumu and Waikanae, separating local and highway traffic and creating safer and shorter trips to and through the Kāpiti Coast. Along with Peka Peka to Ōtaki to the north, it makes up the ‘Kāpiti Expressway’ and links to the south with the Transmission Gully.
This Expressway delivers a key section of the Wellington Northern Corridor, a long needed upgrade of State Highway 1 north of Wellington. # New Zealand Drive # Visit New Zealand # NZ Driving # Travel to New Zealand # NZ Virtual Tour
