Instead, the National Party did campaign on a massively over-designed extension to State Highway 1 north of Ōtaki to north of Levin, and, unfortunately, this is a bit of road that needs immediate safety improvements—it needs immediate safety improvements. You know what won't improve the safety immediately on that road? Spending 10 years building a separate highway to the site—that will not improve the safety straight away. So the Government has committed $1.5 billion to this stretch of road that only has 8,000 cars in each direction a day, and a four-lane bypass of Levin—the cost of this project is equivalent to half of the residential property in Levin.
