Waterloo Interchange Upgrade

Description

Waterloo Station, the second busiest station in the region, is a major landmark in the Hutt Valley. This station was built in the late 1980s and has stood the test of time, however it has come time to make customers journeys better, with the upgrade due to commence in 2026.

Waterloo has been selected as a priority development area – which gives Metlink the opportunity to redevelop Waterloo as an integrated transport hub for the Hutt Valley, linking it with RiverLink, the Lower Hutt CBD, Wellington, Upper Hutt, and the Wairarapa.

This is an exciting project which we know will benefit the thousands of customers that use Waterloo Station every day.
