This section of Wellington’s new motorway, in “Shell Gully” parallel to The Terrace, Is expected to be completed later this year. Traffic probably will not use this part of the motorway until well into 1*75 when another section is completed to link it with the capital's main
route to the northern access route. Further tunnelling and construction to be completed by 1*77 will extend the motorway to Vivian Street and Ghuznee Street, allowing traffic for southern parts of the city to by-pass the business area. Eventually, the multi-
million-dollar project will | extend several miles | further to Rongotai Airport, but no date is set for this. Construction of | The Terrace section, costing $4.5 million, was i by Wilkins and Davies for the Ministry of Works and the National Roads Board, and began in 1971.
