Transmission Gully link road to close for five months

From Morning Report, 8:46 am today

Just two years after opening, Wellington's Transmission Gully link road is being ripped up - and people online are asking why this wasn't sorted from the start. The road - which connects the communities of Whitby and Waitangirua to State Highway one - is set to close for five months while drinking water pipes are being laid, along with cabling for electricity network upgrades. Porirua City Council general manager infrastructure Mike Mendonça spoke with Corin Dann.
