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.

The vote was passed unanimously after Cr Sean Rush aplogised for previously turning his back on a waita during an earlier debate on the issue.
Rush, who emphasised there was “a lot of Māori in the Rush family”, said he was concerned about the divisive route New Zealand was increasingly going down.
Councillors voted on Thursday to send staff away to compile a report on getting mana whenua representation on council committees. That report is due back on December 3.

Wellington City Council is installing the racks to accommodate the public share e-scooters at the 10 busiest places where people start or end their rides, although people who have their own e-scooters or push scooters can also use them.
The racks are known as Ruru racks as they resemble an owl’s face.
Councillor Tamatha Paul, Portfolio Lead for Climate Change, says the Ruru racks can also be converted to include e-charging for scooters and the Council may look at this and other e-bike charging options in the future.
The racks will provide free parking for up to 93 scooters at a range of locations.
Moving boxes! Moved a three bedroom house. Must be willing to take all of them. Thanks.
Note: located in Paremata, not Woodridge

We kick off with Josef Suk’s generously melodic serenade, which contains a capriciously dance-like second movement. Music Director Marc Taddei will, as ever, conduct our players through the performance, which includes Prokofiev's brilliant first piano concerto.
The concerto is performed by internationally celebrated pianist and cherished Wellingtonian Jian Liu, before we round off the evening with Rachmaninoff's beautiful third and final symphony.
Tickets start from $40, and the concert will take place at 7:30pm at the Michael Fowler Centre.
