National Will Start Second Mt Vic Tunnel In First Term

Chris Bishop announced:

The next National Government will start construction on a second Mt Victoria tunnel in its first term by designating it a Major Infrastructure Priority, National’s Infrastructure spokesperson Chris Bishop says.

Great news. National has a track record of actually delivering on major roading projects. I recently drove to Whanganui from Wellington and what used to be a four hour drive is now only slightly over three hours.

That is because of the combination of Transmission Gully, Kapiti Expressway and Otaki Expressway. We just need the Levin part now.
