Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Transport): As is the case with all new sections of State highway, Waka Kotahi assessed the potential for tolling the Ara Tūhono - Pūhoi to Warkworth motorway. Tolling can be a useful tool that can help fund the construction and maintenance of new roads or significant upgrades to existing roads, so the Government will continue to look at it where it makes sense. However, earlier this week I was pleased to announce that this particular motorway project will not be tolled when it opens next week.
