Ōtaki to north of Levin highway cost

Jack Gibbons made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency

The request was successful.

From: Jack Gibbons

Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

With regards to Ōtaki to north of Levin highway, please advise:

1) what is the current expected project cost?
2) will the business case or BCR be re-evaluated to reflect the new higher project cost?

Note: there are several articles online that state the project cost has risen from $815 million to $1.5 Billion. However the project page still states the lower figure, and the articles do not provide sources. I would like to confirm the new higher cost before repeating it.

Yours faithfully,

Jack Gibbons
