• Wider shared path on the southern side of the new bridge over SH2 (4.5m wide).
   
• Wider shared path on the southern side of the new Melling Link bridge of Te Awa Kairangi / Hutt River (4m wide).
   
• The revised design reduces the number and length of pedestrian crossings at the interchange when travelling between Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai / Lower Hutt and the Western Hills, improving safety, and helping traffic move along more efficiently.
   
• Cyclists travelling from the Western Hills to Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai / Lower Hutt can also cycle on a 1.5m shoulder on the northern side of the new bridges over SH2 and Te Awa Kairangi / Hutt River, allowing faster Hutt City bound cyclists to stay on the road.
• SH2 cyclists can connect to a new dedicated off road cycle path and then join Te Ara Tupua cycleway.
