Napier City Council has approved funding for an upgrade of the intersection of Meeanee Quay and State Highway 2.
It is good to see the Napier City Council taking steps to upgrade what must be one of the most dangerous intersections in the Bay.
Nine million dollars, including $2m funding from the council, will be spent on making the notorious State Highway 2 intersection between Hawke's Bay Airport and
Meeanee Quay safer.
Construction is expected to begin in October and, hopefully, will be finished in March next year.
On Wednesday the council approved recommendations for the project to go ahead. An important point raised was that there should not be an environmental impact on the Ahuriri estuary.
However, there is no question something needed to be done.
