The purpose of the study is to identify route security, route reliability and safety issues that need to be managed to ensure an appropriate level of services for the next 30 years. Issues may include road user safety, growth pressures, passing opportunities, natural hazards, cycle demands and integration with the local road network.
The study will enable the NZTA to develop a strategy to optimise an ongoing management, maintenance and improvement programme to ensure this important link in the state highway network is safe and reliable for all that use it.
