Rowley cites detour costs from Wellington bridge delay
Mr Rowley says 10 million autos and 15 000 foot passengers daily have been forced to detour three miles since last summer causing over a million miles of extra travel and at least one indirect fatality. He proposes temporary structures to finish foot access in 24 hours and autos in a bit longer, while criticizing commission spending as excessive. The bridge safety and rebuilding timeline are detailed, with 8 Ss operating, 24 hours work, and winter weather delaying concrete work.
