Ellerslie residents suffering from motorway noise are in for relief with confirmation new barriers will be built along a section of State Highway 1. The NZ Transport Agency is also investigating noise barriers for other sections of urban motorways in Auckland. "I'm confident that the installation of these noise barriers will significantly reduce the disturbance caused to residents by traffic noise from the motorway. NZTA could not say exactly where the Ellerslie barriers will be built, as designs are still to be finalised. However, residents on Findlay and Hewson Streets, near the Ellerslie Train Station, have been lobbying for action on motorway noise.
