Guy welcomes NZTA information centre at Coastlands
Otaki MP Nathan Guy has welcomed the opening of NZTA’s new information centre at Coastlands shopping mall.
Speaking at the opening, Mr Guy welcomed the efforts by NZTA to communicate with local residents.
“The MacKays to Peka Peka expressway is a major development for the Kapiti Coast. This new centre has the latest information and staff available to answer questions on how the road will look and the process from here.
“As the local MP I’m looking forward to working with NZTA and the community on the location of interchanges. I’m also looking forward to progress on the other key part of this corridor from Peka Peka to Otaki.
“Over the last five years there have been 59 serious or fatal crashes on the stretch of road between Paraparaumu and Levin. We’ve known for years that improvements are needed on our roads and I’ve campaigned strongly on this issue.
“The MacKays to Peka Peka section is an important part of the Wellington Northern Corridor from Levin to Wellington Airport, which includes Transmission Gully.
“This is a $2.2 billion project which the government has earmarked as a Road of National Significance.”
