Answer

Tolling consultation was carried out in April 2026. The proposed option was for two gantries. One located south of the Wellford interchange with a 24/7 toll of $3.00 for light and $6.00 for heavy vehicles. The second, located north of Wellsford, would have a 24/7 toll of $1.50 for light and $3.00 for heavy vehicles. No decisions have yet been made on tolling for Warkworth to Te Hana.
