18557 (2026). Ingrid Leary to the Minister of Transport: How is the government ensuring that transport investment in Mosgiel is responsive to approved and planned growth, to avoid reacting only once congestion and safety thresholds have already exceeded, if at all?
Hon Chris Bishop: As part of the SH1/87 optimisation project, NZTA will plan interventions with an understanding of existing and future growth. NZTA will identify when further investment may be required to ensure congestion and safety issues are responded to at the appropriate time.
