Project Summary
The NZTA project was designed to address delays and safety issues on the 2.7km stretch of SH2, from north of the Petone over-bridge to just north of Dowse Drive. The major works were conducted by a Fletcher Higgins Joint Venture and an internal joint venture with Brian Perry Civil. A new interchange at the base of Dowse Drive and a new over-bridge at Korokoro now provide better connectivity to and from the state highway for Wellington motorists and residents on the Western Hutt hills of the Hutt Valley.
