Roads of National Significance (RoNS)
- Hope Bypass
The Hope Bypass – a new route for traffic travelling on SH6 in Richmond that will help reduce congestion in the lower Queen Street/Gladstone Road area, improve safety, support housing development, boost economic growth, and provide a more resilient roading network. In the 2024-27 NLTP we’ll start planning the new bypass.
Other
- SH60 Tākaka Hill resilience improvements (Tasman)
- SH6 Hope Saddle to SH63 Higgins Bluff resilience improvements
- SH6 Dellows Bluff resilience improvements (Tasman)
We’re continuing work (placing more rock anchors and mesh on the cliff) to make Dellows Bluff more resilient so we can remove the containers and return the road back to the permanent speed limit.
- SH6/Tancred Crescent roundabout (Marlborough)
- SH1 Picton Port access improvements (Marlborough)
With the iRex programme winding down, we’re working through the next steps for the transport network in Picton. The relocation of the Interislander terminal has impacted roads around Picton, so we’re looking at what improvements are needed to ensure traffic is safely flowing through Picton. We’re investigating the most appropriate options for improvements, and changes to the state highway and a number of intersections.
