A deluge last July caused slips that closed more than a dozen roads, including State Highway 1 through the gorge.
The highway was the most direct route through the region and its closure had caused drivers to face longer travel times, Transport Agency Waka Kotahi regional manager Jacqui Hori-Hoult said. Given the importance of this connection it was crucial we not only carried out repairs, but also installed drainage works to limit damage from future weather events, Hori-Hoult said.
Report from RNZ by Charlotte Cook
A review into Wellington’s billion dollar highway Transmission Gully has found the project was flawed from the start.
The 27 kilometre stretch of motorway was supposed to cost $850 million but has now exceeded a budget of $1.25 billion.
The report, led by an international expert reviewer Steve Richards and peer reviewed by Sir Michael Cullen and Lindsay Crossen, has found serious flaws at the planning stage of the public-private partnership project, undermining its successful completion.
It was commissioned in August after the Transport Agency Waka Kotahi had to pay another $209.7m to get the project back on track after the Covid-19 lockdown. Official documents show the negotiations went on for months and the contract could have been terminated.
