<P> The Great South Road was the northern section of the earliest highway between Auckland and Wellington, in the North Island of New Zealand . Construction of the Great South Road began in 1861 during the New Zealand Wars under the orders of Governor Grey to improve supply lines through swampy and thickly forested country . The road was constructed by British Army troops, and provided a flow of supplies for the Waikato campaign . Approximately 12,000 soldiers were involved in the construction over two years . After the wars, more peaceful uses predominated, and the road became the main social and commercial link to the growing agricultural areas south of Auckland . </P> <P> Much of the road between Newmarket and Drury is laid in concrete, up to 1 foot thick but is now covered with asphalt . Originally, the road was marked by milestones, but these are now all believed lost . The Auckland Southern Motorway has largely superseded Great South Road as a through route, but many parts of the road are still in use, particularly the urban sections . </P> <P> The road begins in the central Auckland suburb of Epsom, then passes through the suburbs of Greenlane, Penrose, Otahuhu, Papatoetoe, Manukau, Manurewa and Papakura . Leaving the urban sprawl, it heads south through Drury and Bombay, over the Bombay Hills, and follows the east bank of the Waikato River until crossing it at Ngaruawahia . A section of State Highway 3 through Ohaupo retains the road's southernmost extension . Portage Road crosses it in Otahuhu . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Local Board </Th> <Th> Suburb </Th> <Th> km </Th> <Th> jct </Th> <Th> Destinations </Th> <Th> Notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Albert - Eden </Td> <Td> Epsom </Td> <Td> 0.0 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Manukau Road--Royal Oak, Onehunga Alpers Avenue--City Centre Broadway--Newmarket St Marks Road </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Market Road (east)--Remuera Market Road (west)--Mount Eden </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Greenlane </Td> <Td> 2.3 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Green Lane East--Remuera Green Lane West--Western Springs </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2.7 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Woodbine Avenue </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2.8 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Campbell Road--Royal Oak </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Maungakiekie -
