Transport improvements at Melling will provide for a safer, more resilient and accessible transport system in Lower Hutt.
The SH2 Melling transport improvements are funded through the NZ Upgrade Programme and will provide safer, more resilient and accessible transport system in Lower Hutt through a new grade separated interchange and road bridge over the river, along with improved walking, cycling paths and access to public transport.
It is part of Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi – a partnership between NZ Transport Agency, Hutt City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council, and mana whenua Ngāti Toa Rangatira and Taranaki Whānui ki te Upoko o te Ika.
The status of the SH2 Melling transport improvements, and broader programme for Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi, remains in an Interim Project Alliance Agreement (IPAA) phase.
The IPAA phase is done to better understand the challenges of all parts of the programme before committing to the construction contract beginning. This phase also provides an opportunity for greater innovation, value engineering initiatives, and design or material use refinements to potentially reduce costs.
