Excitement in Northland, as the Transport Minister gives the green light to a prioritised regional expressway.

Simeon Brown's agreed to accelerate delivery — letting NZTA move at pace on the route between Auckland and Whangarei.

Locals have been growing irritated following repetitive road closures on the Brynderwyns.

Northland Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Darryn Fisher told Ryan Bridge the projected opening date is unknown.

“I think there’s still some work to go on there as far as consents and obtaining land and business cases go, but as a community, we’re here to make sure we accelerate that as quickly as we can.”
