Finish lines in sight for harbourside shared paths

Imagine being able to cycle safely off highway alongside the idyllic Otago Harbour Ōtākou for 40 stunning kilometres, from Port Chalmers to Taiaroa Head at the harbour entrance, home to the highly acclaimed Royal Albatross colony.

In about 12 months, the imagining stops, and riding or walking this breath-taking path begins, with the completion of the Port Chalmers to Dunedin shared path and the Otago Peninsula Connection shared path to Taiaora Head at the entrance.

The $31M Port Chalmers to Dunedin shared path is a NZ Transport Agency project who also co-invested with the Dunedin City Council in their $69m Otago Peninsula Connection project. Collectively, both will deliver nearly $100m worth of world class walking and cycling paths that people can enjoy to the max when they open.

This pair of paths is one in the many and varied ways NZ Transport Agency is safely connecting people and places. Check out the amazing time lapsed footage of construction of part of the Otago Peninsula Connection shared path.
