 In Auckland’s Central Motorway Junction (Commonly known as Spaghetti Junction to the locals) a ghost ramp persisted for almost 30 years at the point where the junction passes through a constrained cutting underneath Karangahape Rd, on the southern side of the city centre. The ramp covered approximately half of the upper deck of this two deck portion of the junction, and was built to connect the city centre to the Dominion Motorway to the south. Connections between the Southern, Northern and Northwestern motorways, the central city access ramps from the south and west and a short branch to the port also intersect at the CMJ. The dominion motorway was never built due to financial cuts and public outcry of the destruction of a large swathe of historic housing. As of February 2006 work is underway to rebuild the ghost ramp to allow direct connections between the North-Western and Northern motorways, and to replace the current fast lane exit to the city from the busy Southern Motorway with a higher capacity exit from the slow lane. This will ironically result in a new ghost ramp being created from the old exit ramp, which will be closed but left in place to avoid the cost of demolition.
