What are your thoughts on the expressway?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Have you seen the plans for the expressway? The route for Ōtaki to the north of Levin expressway has been revealed to some residents who were sent letters. To read more, click here.

The preferred route runs closest to State Highway 1 and closest to SH57 further north. On the New Zealand Transport Agency's maps, the route is a combination of section S6 and N4.

Manakau resident Peter Staples is one of the farm owners whose property will be affected by the current plans. He said he was glad a decision had finally been made.

So, what are your thoughts on the expressway plans? Do you think the NZTA has chosen the best route? Are you a landowner who will be affected by this? Share your thoughts with us in the replies below!
