Auckland Transport's keeping up vital maintenance during the lockdown - to keep Auckland's roads safe

Essential activities include responding to crashes, road marking and streetlight maintenance and monitoring closed construction sites.

Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says road maintenance lets Aucklanders safely travel to essential work, or to access essential services.

But he says Aucklanders should stay home... except for essential purposes.

Routine work like footpath renewals, road re-surfacing and new road building are still on hold.
