Guy welcomes great progress on expressway
Otaki MP Nathan Guy is rapt the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) is out of the starting blocks early by forming an alliance of experts on the Mackays Crossing to Peka Peka Expressway section of the Levin to Wellington Road of National Significance.
“The community will be excited to hear that successful designers and contractors will soon be hard at work designing and designating this project,” said Mr Guy.
“Having a contract awarded by this winter is fantastic news. It makes sense to move as quickly as possible through the design and designation process to get the work underway.
“While there was vigorous debate in the community last year over this issue, we now finally have some certainty. We now have a preferred route from NZTA, a secure funding stream and experts wanting to be part of a combined alliance team, which is great news.
“It makes sense for Kapiti Coast District Council to be sitting around the table to help plan for local roading requirements.
“Local communities need to be able to access the expressway easily. I look forward to supporting the alliance as local MP to ensure we get the best results for our community,” said Mr Guy.
