Second Terrace Tunnel scrapped, underground SH1 route not part of capital transport plans


A second Terrace tunnel is understood to have been scrapped from Wellington's future transport plans. (File photo)Trackless trams could become Wellington's favoured mass transit system, while a second Mt Victoria tunnel and changes to the Basin Reserve roundabout are also reportedly top of the city's transport wish list. But a second Terrace tunnel is understood to be off the table, while trenching under the Inner-City Bypass on State Highway 1 would not receive any funding for at least 10 years. KEVIN STENT/STUFF A second Mt Victoria tunnel is expected to be included in the first 10-year "phase" of the Let's Get Wellington Moving proposal. The second phase would include a proposal to trench SH1 under Te Aro, between the Mt Victoria and Terrace tunnels.
