Answer

i am advised NZTA holds confirmed designations for the following Roads of National Significance projects: Warkworth to Te Hana, Hamilton Southern Links, Cambridge to Piarere, Ōtaki to north of Levin, Takitimu North Link, SH16 North-West Alternative Highway, Mill Road Stage 1, SH29 Ōmanawa Bridge, Belfast to Pegasus, Hawke's Bay Expressway, and the Hope Bypass. Designations which have lapse dates within the next five years are: Mill Road Stage 1, Cambridge to Piarere, and Belfast to Pegasus. In some cases, the designation has been given effect to (Belfast to Pegasus) or will be before it lapses (Cambridge to Piarere); or the lapse date will be extended (Mill Road Stage 1).
