These include 12 road projects that were re-evelated when the new Government published its transport priorities in 2018. These have become known as "cancelled" Roads of National Significance, or RoNS. It's not yet clear how the $6.8 billion spend will be split between road and rail. The New Zealand Transport Agency, the Government's road builder, spends roughly $4 billion each year on the transport network, much of it on building and maintaining roads. He would not rule in or rule out funding some of the reevaluated roads.
