Wellington to Hutt pathway to be fast tracked
It has taken more than 100 years but the long talked about shared pathway between Wellington and Hutt Valley is about to begin.
The Government has fast tracked construction of the $130 million harbour side path and construction could get underway as soon as next year.
The new Ngāūranga to Petone section will be a shared path with a 5m wide sealed surface, on the harbour side of the Hutt Valley Railway Line, according the new designs, released today by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
It will provide a continuous connection between the existing Wellington to Ngāūranga section, which is scheduled for upgrades, and the new Petone to Melling section, which is currently under construction.
A 1.8 metre chain link fence will separate the path from the adjacent railway line.

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
