Newmarket Viaduct Replacement

New Zealand’s most complex and challenging infrastructure works

One of New Zealand’s most complex infrastructure projects to-date, the Newmarket Viaduct Replacement delivers better vehicle movement and supports the social and environmental well-being of the surrounding area. Urban design was integrated to ensure the project is grounded in its cultural and environmental context, resulting in a more vibrant area for residents, commerce and leisure.

The Newmarket Viaduct Landscape and Urban Design Framework was produced in 2008 to guide all developments throughout the life of the project. The project was split into six design developments which were reviewed against the Framework.

They are:

The Viaduct Structure
Mt Hobson Road Noise Wall
Dilworth Footbridge
Gillies Avenue, Ruarangis Terrace and Clovernook Road
Gillies Avenue Off-Ramp
St Marks Road On-Ramp

Our landscape architects were part of the NGA Newmarket Alliance team who successfully delivered the Newmarket Viaduct Replacement project.
