# Great North Road, Auckland

Great North Road is a major thoroughfare in Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. It runs from the fringe of the Auckland CBD to West Auckland. The road is the second longest in Auckland, after its counterpart, Great South Road, and is named after the Great North Road in Britain. In the days before the Auckland Harbour Bridge, Northern Motorway and Northwestern Motorway were built, it was the main road route from central Auckland to the areas north of the Auckland isthmus. In the 1960s, it carried 25,000–30,000 vehicles a day.

## History

In c.1873 Great North Road was extended west into Henderson. In 1898 the road through Henderson was realigned and moved slightly.
