No funding available for expressway or road safety measures
NZTA now also admits that there is no funding available at the moment for the promised safety measures on the existing SH1 between Ōtaki and Levin.
Or for the expressway.

Whitebaiters were out this morning.
Power was off today for about 10 minutes.
From Facebook:
Keep vigilant on your properties folks. We were burgled last weekend in Mavis Ave.
Speed reductions around Waikawa Beach took effect as of 15 August 2019: Waikawa Beach Road, Takapu Road now 80 Kph. Strathnaver Drive and Reay Mackay Grove now 60 Kph.
Emma Drive and Kristin Place now 80 Kph but will be 60 Kph from 12 September 2019.
Local body elections 2019 tells you who the nominees are for Waikawa Beach representation on Horizons Regional Council, Horowhenua District Council and the MidCentral District Health Board. It also mentions issues relevant to each group.
Water is covering State Highway 1 at the entrance and exit to Levin and the council is asking people to avoid the area if possible.
We came through ~1pm and the Mobil petrol station was underwater. Waikawa Beach Road has a few puddles but not across the road.
The verdict from one person on the opening day of whitebaiting season was: “slim pickings”.
It was a frothy morning at the beach today.
