Transmission Gully Takes Another Step Forward
It was good to read that further progress has been achieved on Wellington's much needed Transmission Gully motorway project. We were convinced that the previous design was intended to maximise price so that a decision would be made to upgrade the coastal highway, rather than build the new road. Now that the new road is inevitable, Transit is able to find a new more affordable route. The Government, and Annette King in particular, deserves full credit for driving this project.
