Four buildings near a major city intersection will be demolished this month for safety reasons. A block of buildings near a major Auckland intersection will be demolished, causing possible traffic disruptions for 10 weeks. The four mainly two-storey buildings are located at 154-174 Beach Road, a busy street in the city centre, and have been vacant for two years. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency spokesperson Steve Mutton said the buildings were an earthquake risk and contained asbestos. “The buildings are located on a busy city street, close to a main intersection,” he said.
