Table 5.4: Summary of the RLTP by Activity Class (Continued) Maintenance of State Highways Local Road Renewals Key planned projects > Ongoing programmes of maintaining the region’s local road network up to an acceptable standard. Maintenance includes roads, bridges and drain maintenance. > Ongoing programmes of renewal of local roads, which includes re-metalling unsealed roads, resurfacing sealed roads, replacing drainage and traffic signals and reconstructing damaged road structures. Value Total = $182m NZTA share = $182m Proportion of midpoint national share = 20% Total = $357m NZTA share = $158.9m Local share = $198.1m Proportion of midpoint national share = 23% GPS lower and upper bands Lower = $830m Upper = $1,025m Lower = $630m Upper = $750m Issues > The Auckland region has the highest proportion of motorways in the country. The length of motorway has increased recently with the completion of Alpurt B2 and a further section of SH20, which will increase maintenance costs. The costs of carrying out maintenance in the Auckland region is considerably higher than in the rest of the country due congestion and high occupation of the network. If necessary, due to the importance and priority of maintenance, additional funds should be transferred from lower priority new infrastructure projects. > There are likely to be sufficient funds available for this activity class. There has been a reduction in the requests for funding in this activity class between the draft and final RLTP. Effect required on GPS impacts > GPS impacts require a reduction in fatalities and hospitalisation from road crashes. Well-maintained roads are safer to drive. This is particularly true of State highways where speeds are higher. > GPS impacts require a reduction in fatalities and hospitalisation from road crashes. Well-maintained roads are safer to drive.

The costs of carrying out maintenance in the Auckland region is considerably higher than in the rest of the country due to congestion and high occupation of the network. If necessary, due to the importance and priority of maintenance, additional funds should be transferred from lower priority work categories. > The Auckland region’s bid for national funding is 66% of the national GPS midpoint and 53% of national GPS upper band for this activity class. Therefore it is likely NZTA will not be able to fund low priority activities. 29
Table 5.4: Summary of the RLTP by Activity Class (Continued) Effect required on GPS impacts > > GPS impacts require a reduction in fatalities and serious injuries from road crashes. Well-maintained roads are safer to drive. This is particularly true of State highways where speeds are higher. Improving the riding surface of roads has a dramatic effect on fuel use and vehicle efficiency. Well maintained roads require less emergency treatment and therefore have more reliable journey times, which will contribute to GPS targets. > GPS impacts require improvements in journey time reliability and an easing of severe congestion. New and improved local roads will help to meet these impacts. New State Highway Infrastructure Key Planned Projects > > Completing the Western Ring Route with the implementation of the SH20–SH1 Manukau link, SH18 extension from Hobsonville to Westgate and the Waterview connection will provide a complete alternative for the movement of people and goods to State Highway 1 from Manukau through to Albany, providing both regional and inter-regional benefits. To reduce southbound congestion on the Southern Motorway, a fourth southbound lane on the motorway between Gillies Avenue and Greenlane will be constructed, and the Newmarket Viaduct will be replaced with a new structure. Value GPS lower and upper bands Total = $1,462.2m NZTA share = $1,462.2m Proportion of midpoint national share = 49.4% Lower = $2,475m Upper = $3,450m Issues Effect required on GPS impacts > > Sufficient funds are available within the GPS funding allocation. NZTA highways and Network Operations have increased their bid for funding by $509m since the draft RLTP – this is a very significant increase. GPS impacts require improvements in journey time reliability and an easing of severe congestion. New and improved State highways will help to meet these impacts. ** Note: While projects such as electrification of the rail network and the purchase of electric trains will be funded from sources other than the Regional Land Transport Programme, they are key components of the Auckland transport system. *** Note: ARTA’s administration and professional services costs are not included in the above table or the detailed funding requests, but are included in LTP Online. 30
