746-24-640-PS - Active Mode Modular Bridge Design

This procurement relates to the delivery of a suite of active mode modular designs over the rail corridor for use by AT in the Auckland Metro area.
As part of Auckland’s Future Transport Plan, 49 level crossings across Auckland are planned to be closed and benefits include:
• Eliminate the risk of accidents at pedestrian level crossings now and as the network grows.
• Improve mode share for people and goods through improved reliability of service by removing a
source of delays and cancelations.
• Improve rail network capacity and efficiency by removing the constrain on optimal network
operations, increasing overall network capacity and level of service.

The programme has begun implementation at 7 sites. Auckland Transport, as lead agency working with KiwiRail and NZTA, are currently developing a programme for the remaining 42 level crossing sites (33 Road, 9 pedestrian crossings). The programme business case is planned for completion/submission by May 2024 for review and approval by Waka Kotahi.

The Level Crossing Removal Programme has identified that there is an opportunity to provide a more
economical, allowing quicker installation, with a less disruptive structure as the agreed solution at each level crossing site that requires a grade separation option treatment.
