Waka Kotahi, Hutt City Council and iwi mana whenua are marking more progress for two significant walking and cycling path projects in Te Whanganui-a-Tara.
Drivers are being asked, once again, to take extra care on the roads as the third bout of bad weather in as many weeks is forecast for the lower North and Upper South Islands.
A new shared path linking Wellington to the Hutt Valley is a step closer, with the Waka Kotahi Board approving funding of up to $311.9 million (incl. contingency) for the project.
Heavy rain has had a significant impact on State Highways across the upper South Island and lower North Island today. As of 4pm Tuesday 12 July, the following routes are closed.
With bad weather forecast for the upper South Island and Wellington region on Friday, 8 July, Waka Kotahi is urging drivers to take special care on the roads.
