Just before Christmas Michelle Johnson decided she had had enough of the traffic congestion in Kumeū, where every day 36,000 vehicles snake their way through the town. Over two days she took photos of bumper-to-bumper traffic at a standstill outside Kumeū on State Highway 16 heading into Auckland city and emailed them to Transport Minister Michael Wood.
What should have been a 26-minute drive from her home in Huapai to work at Avondale took 1h 45m during the morning rush and 1h 20m later in the morning.

Freight services on the Auckland to Northland rail route are expected to start later this week after the line was re-opened following months of upgrade.
The line between Swanson and Whangārei opened yesterday after an early morning blessing and a test train carrying trial hi-cube export- sized containers successfully run along the length of the line.

Two trains a day use the North Auckland Line between West Auckland and Whangārei. The rail line does not yet connect to Marsden Point where Northport is located, but Barr said rail will still be used to transport containers, with trucks moving them from Northport to loading yards at Whangārei. Most of the land for the 20km connection to Marsden Point has been bought, with $40m set aside for land buying as part of the rail project. Barr expected the connection, or spur, to Marsden Point to progress quickly. “I would be disappointed if they weren’t making a start sometime in 2022 or, more realistically, 2023.”
