Wellington Inner City Bypass

The Wellington Inner City Bypass (the Bypass) will provide a less congested, safer, and more efficient route between the Terrace Tunnel and the Basin Reserve.  The Bypass is a one-way, two-lane road, at ground level, with dedicated turning lanes and a 50km/h speed limit.  It will separate cross-city and central business district traffic and provide a safe route for pedestrians and cyclists.
