"The project has been on the books since at least 1968 when the then New Plymouth City Council developed a master transport plan designed to move traffic out of the city's business district. Properties even began to be compulsorily acquired from 1986 to make way for the bypass route. "

866255 2010-03-12 06:11:00 Typical: "But in 2004 when Government roading agency Transit sent a $21.2 million plan to funding body Land Transport New Zealand, it was turned down on the grounds that rising costs meant it no longer met the required benefit-cost ratio."

Maybe if they'd built it when it was first proposed, instead of putting it off, it would have cost a lot less (and still met the cost/benefit ratio)!!!
