Under the NZ$9 billion (US$6.92 billion) plus programme, NZ$2.40 billion will be used for the Waikato Expressway; followed by another $2 billion for Auckland Western Ring Route including Waterview Connection; $1.76 billion for the highway between Puhoi and Wellsford; and $1 billion for Wellington motorways including Transmission Gully.
The government will also spend $730 million for Christchurch motorways and $ 500million for Tauranga Eastern Corridor. About $400 million was spent on the completed Victoria Park link.
In February 2012, NZTA told the minister that the body is committed to significantly completing the seven roads by 2020/2021, subject to the availability of funding.
