Hutt City Mayor Welcomes Dowse to Petone Upgrade
Hutt City Mayor David Ogden has welcomed the completion of the Dowse to Petone upgrade.
He joined Transport
Minister Steven Joyce and NZ Transport Authority chief
executive Geoff Dangerfield to unveil a plaque marking the
completion of the project at a ceremony at Percy Dowse
Reserve this morning.
“The Dowse to Petone upgrade
has been a significant project and it’s great to have it
finished months ahead of schedule,” Mayor Ogden
said.
“Hutt City residents have watched with great
interest over the past two-and-a-half years as the project
has taken shape.
“The improvements to this stretch
of State Highway 2 will provide a range of benefits to Hutt
City, from a new gateway and better access to the city, to
improved safety and travel flow.
“Commuters will
also enjoy improved park-and-ride facilities which I hope
will encourage more people to use public transport.
“Congratulations to the NZTA, contractors and engineers on
completing the project ahead of time and with such little
disruption to motorists,” he
said.
