NZTA to submit proposal to toll Puhoi to Warkworth motorway
The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) plans to submit a proposal to toll the Puhoi to Warkworth motorway (Ara Tūhono) within weeks, despite fierce local opposition.
NZTA national manager of system design, Robyn Elston, says the agency is working to submit a proposal to the Minister of Transport in April.
Ms Elston says NZTA’s proposal will take into account feedback from a public consultation on tolling last year, but says the findings from that consultation will not be revealed until after the Minister has made a decision.
She says the level of public support for tolling will be a factor in the Minister’s decision on whether or not to progress with a toll.
