Inner City Bypass approved for funding
Wellington's inner city bypass project has today been approved for funding by the Transfund New Zealand Board.
The decision means Transit New Zealand can now proceed with the $38.9 million construction project.
Board chair Dr Jan Wright says the well-integrated transport strategies previously developed by the Wellington Regional Land Transport Committee and Wellington City Council have made it possible to assess the project against the Land Transport Management Act 2003 in a robust way.
"The Board is satisfied that the project and the process carried out by Transit pass the tests of the Act that apply to this project."
In approving
funding, the Board also noted the joint commitment of
Transit New Zealand, Greater Wellington Regional Council and
Wellington City Council to an integrated set of actions
aimed at sustaining the improved level of transport
performance in the inner city.
