The Minister of Transport can appoint up to eight members to the board. Current members are listed below.

A Notice of Requirement to alter the designation and extend Resolution Drive to meet the expressway and create a link across the Expressway to Horsham Downs Road was publically notified today.
The Transport Agency’s acting  Hamilton state highway manager Karen Boyt says the connections put forward follow extensive consultation with stakeholders and the community.

“We have worked alongside Hamilton City Council and Waikato District Council to ensure the connections at Resolution Drive Interchange work with the local road network, support growth and development on that side of the city and will keep the Horsham Downs community well connected,” Ms Boyt says.

“We encourage people to take part in this submission process.”

Hamilton City Council Infrastructure General Manager Chris Allen says the project will open further growth opportunities for the city.

“Better connectivity with the expressway and ease of access from and to Hamilton city is a big step towards enabling growth in the city,” he says.
“The project has also allowed us to develop the road hierarchy in the area to get the right traffic on the right roads and ultimately not only improve travel times, but safety as well.”

Mr Allen said the connection completes a strategic transport corridor for the city with the Resolution Drive interchange providing relief to the Hamilton ring road network and supporting development in Rototuna.

The process is another step as the NZ Transport Agency gears up to start full construction on the 21.8km Hamilton Section in October.

The Alliance, made up of the Transport Agency, Fletcher Construction, Beca, Higgins, Coffey and Hick Brothers, has started some enabling works this month at the northern end of the project between Lake Road and Osborne Road.

“They are building a 3km long, 10 metre wide haul road for trucks and heavy machinery in this area so they are ready to go come October,” says Ms Boyt.

The Alliance will also be constructing associated environmental controls, culverts, stripping topsoil and building a trial embankment just south of Lake Road.

Details of the Notice of Requirement can be viewed at www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz or at Waikato District Council offices, 15 Galileo Street, Ngaruawhaia. They can also be viewed at the Horsham Downs Community Church office, 10 Martin Lane, Hamilton.

Submissions on the Notice of Requirement to alter the designation are open until 5pm on 5 May.  People can submit in writing to Waikato District Council c/o Rice Resources Ltd, PO Box 431, Waikato Mail Centre, Hamilton 3240 or by email info@riceres.co.nz.

Background

The Waikato Expressway is one of seven Roads of National Significance (RoNS) identified by the Government as being key to unlocking New Zealand’s future growth.  It is being built in seven sections and is on track to be complete by 2020.

Once complete, the Waikato Expressway will reduce the journey time between Auckland and south of Cambridge by up to 35 minutes, improve connections for freight and business, support economic growth and development, and significantly improve safety on this stretch of SH1.

The 21.8km long Hamilton section of the expressway is the largest roading project to be undertaken in the Waikato, connecting to the Ngaruawahia section at Lake Road in the north and the Tamahere section in the south.

The project will pass to the south and east of Hamilton and include five interchanges, 17 bridges and connecting roads at Cambridge Road, Ruakura Road, Greenhill Road and Resolution Drive.

For more information go to www.nzta.govt.nz/waikatoexpressway or via Facebook - www.facebook.com/waikatoexpressway.

NZ Transport Agency Central Region Highways Neil Walker says a culvert was the safest, least disruptive and most cost-effective solution to replace the current narrow bridge.

“It is likely the current bridge would not cope with the effects of a significant earthquake. The new road layout and culvert is going to be wider, longer, lower, safer and more resilient than the ‘skinny’ bridge it is replacing, “ Mr Walker says.

Traffic will be able to use the new road and culvert in May, when the existing bridge is scheduled to be demolished. There will be initial speed restrictions until the road surface is finished.

“We started construction works on this project in October 2014, and the whole project will be complete in September this year. It’s been a big job - the project required approximately 150,000 cubic metres of material to be shifted to form the new road alignment,” Mr Walker says.

The project also includes a New Zealand engineering milestone, as the culvert is first Super-Cor Arch Culvert constructed in New Zealand.

“This type of culvert was the only option strong enough to handle the weight of the 16 metres of rockfill that will be above it,” Mr Walker says.

The current alignment will be maintained in a safe condition until traffic is transferred to the new road and culvert.

Background

The new culvert is 120 metres long, 6 metres wide and 3 metres high, with a reinforced concrete slab foundation. The new road level is approximately 3 metres lower than the existing bridge over Whakaruatapu Stream.

The existing bridge is 5.79m wide between kerbs. It is a 22 metre high level viaduct type structure, 58 metres long with a reinforced concrete deck.

The NZ Transport Agency urges Waikato and Bay of Plenty motorists to leave extra time when travelling this month as work continues on major projects and roadworks.

Transport Agency work crews are out in force at the moment, making the most of the last of the warm, dry weather to maintain the state highways and progress projects such as the Waikato Expressway and Tauranga’s Maungatapu underpass.

Drivers are likely to encounter speed restrictions and other traffic management which may cause delays and should get in the habit of allowing extra time for their journeys.

Bay of Plenty travellers can also go to www.drivelive.nz/BayofPlenty, a dedicated website that tells drivers what the current travel times are to get to key places.

Roadworks that are scheduled to start in the next week or are currently underway are detailed below to help people plan ahead when travelling.

BAY OF PLENTY

SH29/ Takitimu Drive and SH36/Taurikura Drive roundabout upgrade
Motorists are asked to drive with extra care when travelling through the roundabouts over the next month. Tauranga City Council’s contractor is carrying out works including tree felling in the area and speed restrictions, lane closures and occasional stop/go traffic management will be in place at times from this week.

SH2 between Tauranga and Waihi
Motorists travelling on SH2 between Tauranga and Waihi are urged to drive with extra care as work continues on a major safety upgrade.
A section of highway between Wainui South Road and Sargent Drive is being repaired and widened, and a wire rope central median barrier installed to prevent head on crashes.
Traffic is currently split with works underway in the middle of the two lanes.
All surfaces are sealed however a 50km/h speed restriction is in place for the safety of workers and to allow the seal to bed in. 
People should only expect minor delays but are urged to stay alert behind the wheel as there will be changes to the road layout over the next month.

Tauranga road marking
Speed restrictions and traffic management will be in place on several sections of SH2 and SH29 over the next fortnight while contractors carry out road marking. Motorists should expect short delays at times and slow moving vehicles in their lane at times.

SH2 Wright Road
Contractors are installing guard rails on both approaches to Wright Road this week to improve safety for motorists.  A speed restriction and changes to the road layout will be in place.

WAIKATO

Cambridge (Former SH1)
Contractors will be removing the passing lanes on Cambridge Road (the old SH1) from Monday, 11 April (weather dependent). The passing lane removal is part of a package of works being undertaken by the NZ Transport Agency following the opening of the Cambridge Section of the Waikato Expressway in December 2015.

The Cambridge Section is now State Highway 1 and the old SH1/Cambridge Road will be transferred to Waipa District Council to manage as a local road. The passing lane removal, lane remarking and shoulder widening is expected to happen over the next two weeks and will require traffic management with speed restrictions of 30km/h, raising to 50km/h to allow new chip to bed-in.

Motorists are advised to be aware of loose chip on this section of road.

The passing lane removal and associated works are the first stage of a package of works on Cambridge Road between Cambridge and Tamahere which is jointly funded by the Transport Agency and Waipa District Council.

Additional stages on the old state highway will be progressively rolled out over the next 12 months.

Waikato Expressway – Huntly and Rangiriri sections
Work continues at both the Huntly and Rangiriri sites and there are on-going traffic management and speed restrictions in place. Motorists are asked to respect these for the safety of all road users and construction staff.

SH29 – Kaimai Range
A major reseal programme on the Waikato side of the Kaimai Range (SH29) is under way this month.   So far the works have progressed well however motorists are advised to allow an extra few minutes when travelling up the steep Waikato side as there will be fewer passing opportunities. The work will be carried out during week days and is expected to take most of April to complete.

SH1 Putaruru
Roadworks south of Putaruru are under way and may cause minor delays for SH1 travellers until mid-April. The works, between the rail overbridge and vehicle testing station south of Putaruru, will wrap up on 22 April. Contractors will be on site seven days a week, 6am-7pm.  Traffic will be managed through the site, and motorists may encounter short delays.

SH3, Te Kuiti
South-bound traffic will be detoured off SH3 in Te Kuiti from Monday 11 April until 12 May while contractors carry out roadworks.
The work includes surface repairs between George Street-King Street and a deep reconstruction between King Street-Awakino Road.
The detour is only during the day, from Monday to Saturday, and is suitable for all types of heavy vehicles. It will take traffic via Lawrence St-Taupiri St-King St East and Rora St.North-bound traffic managed through the sites.

SH1 Kahikatea Drive, Hamilton
Travellers on SH1 through Hamilton should be prepared for minor delays as work is under way to install traffic lights at the Kahikatea Drive and Gallagher Drive intersection.  A speed restriction and traffic management is in place until mid-year when the project will be complete.  

SH3 Ohaupo Road, Hamilton
Work is well under way on the shared path for cyclists and pedestrians alongside on SH3 in Hamilton. The $2 million project will see a 3.5km shared path on SH3 Ohaupo Road. The path will be finished in April with two signalised pedestrian crossings at Normandy Avenue shops to be installed by mid-year.

SH3/SH21 Hamilton Airport turn-off
Motorists can expect occasional minor delays while work continues on a roundabout at the intersection. It is being built away from traffic and will be completed in May.

Last year a working group made up of community representatives and partners to the Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan including Christchurch City Council, Environment Canterbury, the NZ Transport Agency and Lyttelton Port of Christchurch, was formed last year to investigate pedestrian safety options along this section of Norwich Quay, as an outcome of the Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan.

The Transport Agency investigated pedestrian improvements providing access linking the west end of Lyttelton and the Dampier Bay development with bus stops and the town centre. The aim was to improve pedestrian safety while maintaining road freight efficiency to and from the Port of Lyttelton.

“We’re starting a fresh city and region-wide conversation about how we can keep Wellington moving, vibrant and one of the best places in the world to live,” says Jim Bentley, director of Let’s Get Wellington Moving, a joint initiative of Wellington City Council, Greater Wellington Regional Council and the NZ Transport Agency.

“Our focus is on the area between Ngauranga and Wellington Airport encompassing the Wellington Urban Motorway to Wellington Hospital and International Airport and connections to the eastern and southern suburbs. 

“We’re encouraging people to talk about how they travel through this part of Wellington -  what they enjoy and what they don’t -  as well as what they value most about how Wellington City looks, feels and works.

“Over the next six weeks we’ll be meeting with and listening to a range of people and organisations around the region, carrying out workshops, phone surveys, on-street surveys. We’ll also be engaging online at getwellymoving.co.nz– people  answer a couple of quick fire questions, take part in a short survey,  look at how others experience getting around and through the city, and most importantly see what other people are saying.

“We want to get a clear understanding of the problems that people face travelling in and through this area and what they value most about the city. Whether people travel around or through this part of Wellington a couple of times a year or a couple of times a day, we want everyone to be part of the conversation. “

Jim Bentley says people’s views and feedback will be used to develop some good urban design and transport principles.   “These principles will guide the development of a range of possible scenarios that would make it easier for people to get around as well as enhance the look, feel and function of the city. We’ll be asking people for their ideas and suggestions on scenarios, which will then be assessed. The preferred scenarios will be formally consulted on early next year.

 “Let’s get talking – and get Wellington moving.”

Any changes you make to your vehicle must not put you or others at increased risk when you’re on the road. That’s why any modifications you do make may need a low volume vehicle (LVV) certification to get a warrant of fitness (WoF).

Before you change a thing...

Invest in making your modifications properly. Though it might cost you more upfront, it could save your life.

Do I need to complete the LVV certification process? 

View the LVV certification process .

Getting an LVV certification

You need to get an LVV certification if you heavily modify your vehicle – and you’ll need the certificate before you can get your WoF.

Your first step is to find an  LVV certifier .

The certifier will check the modifications – the costs depend on the extent of the modification.

Where the modifications meet the specified standards, the certifier will arrange the LVV certification plate.

When the plate arrives, the certifier will fit it to a permanent part of your vehicle. You must get the plate fitted within two months of the certification inspection.

Without the plate, you cannot legally drive your vehicle on the road.

If you make more changes to your vehicle, you may need new certification.

Modifications most likely to need certification

These modifications are most likely to require LVV certification:

• modified suspensions, which could alter vehicle handling (an LVV certifier must check any modifications exceeding the specified threshold )

• engine conversions or modifications – an LVV certifier will need to check any potential effects of engine modifications on the adequacy of your vehicle's braking system

• racing seats, which can provide you with better support but, if incorrectly attached and positioned in the vehicle, can reduce the effectiveness of your safety belts

• steering modifications, which are particularly high risk and should be done only by experts.

How you can ensure your vehicle remains safe

• Check the technical standards your modification will need to meet. You’ll find these on the  Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association website . 

• Use a professional if your modification requires an LVV certification.

• Talk to someone who’s successfully completed a modification

• Talk to a WoF inspector about the limits set out in their vehicle inspection requirements manual, or contact your  local low volume vehicle certifier .

Want more info on modifying your vehicle?

The  Low Volume Vehicle Technical Association website has a lot of helpful information about vehicle modifications and the required standards.

Innovative designs

Many modifications are already defined in the LVV Code, infosheets, standards and Hobby Car Technical Manual published by the LVVTA. If your modification uses an innovative design that is not defined in any of these documents, you can apply to the LVVTA’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for approval for a variation from a technical requirement. 

The TAC will review your proposal or modification to determine if it is safe, and may ask for additional testing or calculations to back up your design. If the design is approved you can proceed with your build or modification – if it’s declined, the TAC will advise you of the reasons so you can work towards meeting the required safety standards.

The TAC will treat your application in commercial confidence if required. Some approved variations will be posted on the LVVTA website to provide guidance and transparency.

Check out some case studies where an innovative approach was taken to a vehicle modification.

• Hydraulic tiller steering control
• Seatbelt anchorage points on fibreglass body

Review of certification system 

We are reviewing the Low Volume Vehicle certification system, to ensure the process upholds the safety of road users while providing a positive user experience for customers of that certification process.

We commissioned an independent survey with a wide range of users of the system – we analysed the resulting  Standards NZ report and identified a set of actions for implementation.

Contractors will be undertaking works in the Lyttelton Tunnel overnight Thursday, 7 April from 8 pm through to Friday, 8 April, 2 am. The night-time works will place restrictions on traffic flows through the tunnel, and dangerous goods vehicles will not be permitted.

Normal traffic will be restricted to single lane operation after 8 pm and before 2 am, so around 10 minute delays at each end are expected.

• Dangerous goods movements which require tunnel closures for other traffic will be restricted to 7-8 pm on Thursday and 2-7 am on Friday.

“The Transport Agency apologises for the inconvenience caused to road users, however these works are for essential maintenance and need to be undertaken in this timeframe,” said Transport Agency Journey Manager Lee Wright.

Through its Research Programme, the NZ Transport Agency invests in innovative and relevant research which plays a critical role in contributing to the government's goals for transport.

The results of Transport Agency research must be readily applicable to interventions that can be cost effectively applied in New Zealand in the short-to-medium term for longer term impacts. This page lists all active Transport Agency Research Programme research projects and being updated on an ongoing basis as research is completed.

For further information, you can either:
