Chris Bishop: Transport Minister discusses which Roads of National Significance will be built first
Update: 2025-10-20
Description
A balancing act is underway to decide which Roads of National Significance will begin construction next.
The Government's funnelling $1.2billion into the programme's 17 projects - which includes highway sections in Northland, Nelson, Hamilton, and Wellington.
Transport Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking they're now going through a prioritisation exercise as a Government.
He says they have all the investment cases, and they're working out a rough order of sequence.
Bishop says they can't build them all at once, noting they want to ensure a regional spread.
