Normanby realignment funding approved
Funding has been approved for the realignment of State highway 1 at Normanby, just south of Timaru.
Transfund New Zealand approved $6.9 million for the project as part of its monthly National Land Transport Programme
review meeting on Wednesday last week.
Southern Regional Manager Neil Bennett said he was pleased that work would begin shortly on improving the section of
road, especially since it had claimed so many lives.
The project comprises the realignment of a 3.17 kilometre section of SH1 with new north and southbound passing lanes.
