Ākau Tangi Evans Bay improvements
We're upgrading this scenic walking and biking route around Ākau Tangi Evans Bay, from Carlton Gore Road on Oriental Bay to Cobham Drive, with a two-way bike path and separate footpath along Evans Bay Parade.
The section between Carlton Gore Road and Greta Point is now in use and includes improvements to Ōmarukaikuru (Pt Jerningham), with more space for people to enjoy.
Once complete, this part of Wellington's coast will be even more of a drawcard for visitors and recreation.
The new paths on the seaward side form part of Tahitai (one tide, one journey) around Evans Bay from Miramar to the central city, the wider eastern connection to Kilbirnie and Te Aranui o Pōneke, the Great Harbour Way.
As a popular walking and biking commuter route from the east, these improvements will make things safer and more enjoyable for people of all ages and abilities. It will be possible to ride between Miramar and the city without having to ride on the road.
The section between Carlton Gore Road on Oriental Bay and around Evans Bay Parade to Greta Point is complete.
