Transport infrastructure upgrades to get NZ moving and prepared for the future
$6.8 billion for transport infrastructure in our six main growth areas - Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Wellington, Canterbury and Queenstown.
$1.1 billion for rail.
$2.2 billion for new roads in Auckland.
The Government’s programme of new investments in roads and rail will help future proof the economy, get our cities moving, and make our roads safer.
