Transmission Gully to get better cell service

From Morning Report, 8:36 am on 17 January 2023

A big fix is coming for the new Transmission Gully motorway out of Wellington. 

There have been reports of cell phone black spots on the road since it opened, which presented a risk for drivers and emergency services. 

Now, four new cell towers are being installed to plug the gap. 

John Proctor is the chief executive of Rural Connectivity Group, which is overseeing the project. 

He spoke to Charlotte Cook.
