It connects Te Wero island with Wynyard Quarter adjacent to Karanga Plaza and provides an east/west link for walking and cycling between Wynyard Quarter and Downtown Auckland, while maintaining boat access to the Inner Viaduct Harbour. Wynyard Crossing Te Wero Island Outer Wynyard Viaduct Quarter Karanga Plaza Inner Viaduct Figure 111 ––– Bridge Location Source: wises.co.nz The application involves the removal of the existing Wynyard Crossing bridge which has reached the end of its design life. The existing bridge was designed and consented as a temporary bridge. The existing bridge will be replaced by a new permanent bridge. It is expected that the construction will take approximately 9 months. During this period a temporary crossing will be established to the south of the existing bridge beyond the Tidal steps. The proposed bridge is described in more detail in the Assessment of Environmental Effects attached to application. In summary, it is to be a double-leaf bascule bridge along the same alignment as the existing bridge. Bridge approaches will connect the proposed bridge to land (Te Wero Island and Wynyard Precinct), either side of the double leaf bascule. This report has been prepared to provide an independent transport assessment of the proposed bridge, including its construction and the temporary crossing. It describes the nature of the transport environment into which the bridge exists; sets out and assesses the transport characteristics of the design and its likely impacts on the immediate transport environment. Proposed Bridge Replacement Wynyard Crossing, Wynyard Quarter Transport Assessment Issue C – Final Ref: 19148 - 2 - 2.02.02.0 BACKGROUND & CONTEXT 2.12.12.1 The Existing Bridge ––– PurposePurpose,, Design & Operation The existing Wynyard Crossing bridge was designed and constructed to provide pedestrian and cycling across the Viaduct Harbour. It connects Te Wero Island with Wynyard Quarter adjacent to Karanga Plaza and provides an east/west link for walking and cycling between Wynyard Quarter and Downtown Auckland. It was planned as a temporary bridge and was completed in 2011. It was intended to operate for a 6-year design life when a permanent bridge was intended to be completed. The design of the structure and operating equipment reflected its temporary nature and enabled simple cost- effective construction and subsequent removal in future. From a walking and cycling perspective, the bridge has had significant benefits for several user groups including commuters, recreational users, tourists and visitors. It is therefore important to maintain and a safe and reliable pedestrian and cycle connection and boat access to the Inner Viaduct Harbour. Figure 222:2: Existing Bridge The existing bridge has a total span of 96.0 metres between landing at each. The section of bridge that lifts has a span of 46.0 metres and is slightly offset towards the west of the overall span. The section of bridge that pedestrians need to be cleared from in order for the bridge to be lifted amounts to some 76.0 metres. Proposed Bridge Replacement Wynyard Crossing, Wynyard Quarter Transport Assessment Issue C – Final Ref: 19148 - 3 - The minimum clear operating width through the main and middle span of the bridge that lifts to allow boats to pass is 4.3 metres. Slightly wider approaches (5.0 metres wide) are provided either side of the main span and accommodate control gates that hold pedestrian and cyclists and the cable systems for lifting the bridge. The gate system provides a constrained “gateway” onto the bridge that signals to all users the presence of the bridge ahead and assists in managing speeds of cyclists (including other modes such as electric scooter and skateboards). Immediately outside the bridge structure, the approaches widen to more than 10 metres within Wynyard Quarter (between Karanga Plaza and the former Viaduct Events Centre, now occupied by Emirates Team New Zealand) and Te Wero Island. The existing bridge span provides for various gradients throughout the approaches to and across the bridge with a maximum grade of 1 in 20 (5%). There are no mobility platform respite areas provided through the 96.0 metre span of the bridge and the flat landing areas of Te Wero Island and Karanga Plaza sides of the bridge. Figure 333:3: Bridge Approach & Control Gates The day to day operation of the bridge consists of the bridge being down and open to free movement by various user groups in shared use environment except when being opened to allow marine traffic to pass to and from the Inner Viaduct Harbour. Observations made during peak and off-peak times identify that pedestrians and cyclists generally move freely and in an uncongested manner with little disruption or delay. Cyclists typically

  • THE WATERFRONT PLAN AKL 2012 Tamaki – Kainga Nga Ika Me Nga Wheua Katoa! Auckland – Where the Fish Are So Succulent You Can Eat Them Bones and All!
    THE WATERFRONT PLAN AKL 2012 Tamaki – kainga nga ika me nga wheua katoa! Auckland – where the fish are so succulent you can eat them bones and all! This proverb alludes to the once abundant and sought after marine resources of Auckland’s waterfront. It signals Waterfront Auckland’s desire to create a sustainable waterfront providing for the current and future generations of Aucklanders. A place all Aucklanders can access the Waitemata Harbour for recreation, business or cultural practices. FOREWORD The waterfront has reignited Aucklander’s pride in their city. The pride and enthusiasm with which Aucklanders have embraced their new waterfront continues to amaze me. Although in its infancy, stage one of the redeveloped Wynyard Quarter and the expanse of Queens Wharf, attract people day after day, rain and shine. When Waterfront Auckland put forward its draft plans for the redevelopment of the whole waterfront last year we received hundreds of letters, emails and submissions. Most were hugely positive. “Just get on with it!” was the cry. Our job at Waterfront Auckland is to lead the momentum of the revitalisation, and of pride. Having listened to Aucklanders, we have refined our plans and here, we present a vision for how the waterfront could be redeveloped, how it can continue to create transformational change. We are living in an extraordinary time, perhaps unprecedented in recent history where opportunity is constrained and likely to remain so for some time to come. Our approach in these plans is to strike a balance that seizes opportunity while it is offering and continues to strive for a visionary outcome that our city and its people deserve.
