After years of delays, expenses, Transmission Gully road opens

From Checkpoint, 5:27 pm on 30 March 2022

The rubber is finally about to hit the road on the long awaited Transmission Gully motorway in Wellington.

The project's been riddled with delays and Waka Kotahi put the hard word on the contractor a fortnight ago to have it open by the end of the month.

That's tomorrow - when the road will open for the general public.

Today, dignitaries and media hit the road for a look. Our reporter Jake McKee and cameraman Angus Dreaver were there.
