National Land Transport Programme 1996 - Canterbury regional newsletter

 

Coast to Coast August 1995 issue

NLTP 1996 Canterbury/West Coast regional allocation

NLTP 1996 Canterbury/West Coast major projects

NLTP 1996 Canterbury/West Coast summary

In the Canterbury/West Coast newsletter the first page is a national summary, but beyond that key points include:
  • $54.7m funding for Canterbury
  • $18.2m funding for the West Coast
  • $28m of spending is for local roads in both regions
  • $2.5m of spending is for passenger transport in Canterbury, $23,200 for the West Coas
Main projects listed include:
  • Cass River bridge replacement SH73
  • Windy Point realignment SH7
  • Completion of SH1 Timaru bypass
A large number of small state highway and local road safety, bridge replacement and cycling projects are also included, indicating the relatively high value given to safety projects at the time. Notably funding for the Otira Viaduct was only for the design phase, as the project did not meet the funding threshold for construction.
