Details
DescriptionUpgrading had been the current proposal, but Transit New Zealand had come up with an alternative passing north of the lakes. This map of the alternatives was printed in the July 3, 1990 'Leader'.
An earlier version of the northern route had been printed in the August 24, 1984 'Leader'. It ended either at a Rimutaka road tunnel, or at the Pakuratahi River.
The rerouting option had to be reviewed, by a panel chaired by the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, and Transit New Zealand and the Wellington Regional Council would have to meet the $25 000 cost.
The proposal would produce a better road, and avoid disturbance to people living near the existing road, and destruction of a stand of remnant matai-totara and beech forest
