The Northland Corridor is one of the most significant infrastructure upgrade investments to be undertaken in New Zealand. It is a 100km four (4) lane motorway and is a key link connecting Northland to the rest of New Zealand. It is made up of three sequential Roads of National Significance (RoNS) between Warkworth and Whangārei:
• Section 1 - Warkworth to Te Hana;
• Section 2 - Te Hana to Port Marsden Highway; and
• Section 3 - Port Marsden to Whangārei.

The RoNS is a programme that the New Zealand Government has established to provide direct investment towards vital transport links across the regions and contribute to meeting the four strategic priorities laid out in the Government Policy Statement on Land Transport 2024.

The NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (Transport Agency) is commencing a procurement process for Section 1 – Warkworth to Te Hana of the Northland Corridor (the Project).
