There will be a four lane highway from Wellington to Levin, no more traffic lights at the Melling turnoff, and train lines that promise more reliability. "We always wanted was four lanes from Wellington to at least Levin and hopefully Palmerston North. We will have that now with this announcement, I think that's good for the entire Lower North Island." ROBERT KITCHIN/STUFF The Melling Link intersection on SH2 in Lower Hutt will be replaced by an overbridge. Tracks will be upgraded on the Capital Connection line between Wellington and Palmerston North, as well as on the Wairarapa line.
