## Resource

The P2G highway project, once a multi-billion-dollar priority to connect Lower Hutt and ease traffic, has been dramatically downgraded by the government. With funding stretched thin and projects ranked by speed and impact, the P2G and its Cross-Valley Link now lack a firm timeline. Homeowners in the path of the road are relieved—some even joke about avoiding motorways through their living rooms—while others fear critical infrastructure is being ignored, especially as costs rise. Supporters argue these projects are vital for the nation’s future and should be tackled sooner, even with borrowing. The P2G’s fate remains uncertain, sitting low on the government’s list.
