Subject: Official Information request - SH1 Dome Valley Safety
improvements

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

Could NZTA provide a date when the Dome valley safety improvements started
construction and the time frame it will be completed now?

 

Previous media updates have indicated early 2022 but we are now in
mid-2022 with no signs of completion anytime soon.

 

Is the project over budget?

 

Has the project been delayed again?

 

Is NZTA concerned with the time taken for this project to be completed and
will the contractors pay penalties or does NZTA have the provision to add
penalties for delays in contractors completing the project on time in the
contract?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mike Hunua
