Hon MICHAEL WOOD (Minister of Transport): We are making progress on a number of important projects around the regions to keep New Zealand moving and support the economic recovery. The first of three new safer link road connections into Tamahere opened recently, as the Hamilton section of the Waikato expressway drives towards completion. Later this year, stage 2 will see the on-ramp over Cambridge Road bridge open, and, next year, stage 3 will see the on-ramp from the link road to the city open, completing the southern interchange connections. Looking to the Coromandel, I'm also happy to report that Tairua locals have safer walking and cycling options, following the opening of a new footbridge across Grahams Stream at the northern end of the town.
