NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) acknowledges the Government’s decision to confirm the tolling proposal for Takitimu North Link. This decision provides the project with the direction needed to move forward, and provide clarity for communities and road users.
The Minister of Transport’s full announcement can be viewed here.
NZTA thanks everyone who made submissions, public consultation is a valued part of the process and the insights gained through submissions were considered in the decision-making process.
After careful consideration of the feedback and updated modelling, 2 amendments to the tolling proposal were made:
-
People who travel directly from the proposed SH2 Takitimu North Link toll road to the existing SH29 Takitimu Drive Toll Road (and vice versa) in a single trip are exempt from paying tolls for SH29 Takitimu Drive Toll Road.
-
The peak hour periods were extended to 6am-9am and 3pm-6pm (from 7am-9am and 4pm-6pm).
A summary of the consultation findings for Takitimu North Link can be viewed here.
Revenue collected from the toll will ensure Takitimu North Link remains safe and well maintained, and will contribute towards the construction and maintenance of the road.
