| Top 'n Tales October 1994 |
This newsletter from the Wellington regional office of Transit NZ in 1994 focuses entirely on state highway projects in Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough, with the main feature being the design of the Stoke Bypass. This road effectively became the main highway to the south of Nelson, taking heavy traffic out of Stoke and easing congestion approaching Nelson from the south. This newsletter notes that the design contract has been let, but construction funding not yet approved. It notes the design would be two lanes with passing lanes, with provision for it to be a four-lane highway subsequently (it has not been four-laned as of 2023). The Stoke Bypass was subsequently funded and opened in 2000, as a seven-kilometre highway that had originally been envisaged in the 1960s.
Other projects mentioned in this newsletter are almost all a series of minor safety improvement and asset replacement projects.
