Dunedin to Port Chalmers: Three years and $50m to build one 10km cycleway
The biggest challenge for the country’s latest cycleway was there was simply no space to build it.
"It is a very complex project. Typically with cycleways you have somewhere to construct them, that is why we left this section to last," Jason Forbes, Waka Kotahi senior project manager, said.
The cycleway – the 10km long SH88 Dunedin to Port Chalmers Shared Path – will be officially opened by Transport Minister David Parker on Saturday afternoon.
The cost of the entire project is $43.8 million to date, and is expected to come just under its $50m budget.
