Petone to Grenada link road in Wellington

Overview:

• Petone to Grenada link road is a project that aims to reduce congestion on the busiest part of the Wellington Northern Corridor between Grenada and Wellington and help optimise and realise the benefits of the other improvements being made to the Wellington State Highway network.
• The project is in the investigations phase and New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has been continuing to refine its proposals for the new Petone to Grenada Link Road route and designs for the Petone and Tawa Interchanges.
• A new interchange at Petone—a key bottleneck—aims to make journeys faster along SH2 and the Esplanade, and generally it is expected that 550 jobs will be created as a result of increasing access to other job markets.
