Hamilton Section

[edit]

Costs $636m https://www.nzta.govt.nz/projects/waikato-expressway/hamilton/ Older version of exact same link shows old estimate of $974m https://web.archive.org/web/20160601000000*/https://www.nzta.govt.nz/projects/waikato-expressway/hamilton/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.203.247.130 (talk) 04:53, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The first source you provided is an estimate, the second is a figure that does not correlate with the source I provided on the article page, a press release of the sod turning of the expressway section and its contracted figure. As far as I'm concerned nothing has changed. I may have to write to NZTA to get them to verify their project website. Ajf773 (talk) 05:08, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Leading section updation

[edit]

Leading section seems a little off now that Hamilton is bypassed. I attempted to make the leading section more correct to its overall information, but it may need some more fixing. Qwertyxp2000 (talk | contribs) 05:55, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How long is the Expressway?

[edit]

A description dating back to 2010, when parts were still being investigated, said, "it will be 102km, some 6km shorter than the current State Highway 1". The article says, "101.4 km (63.0 mi) long", but its source only repeats the 102 figure. Google maps says Bombay to the end of the Cambridge bypass is 113km and the old route is 117km. 113 is the total of the distances in the first table, but not in the second table. What are the sources for the tables and are there any better? Johnragla (talk) 15:37, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Exit list

[edit]

I updated the exit list to use the modern template. There are three at-grade intersection on the Mercer section near Meremere, these state there are proposals to either close or upgrade these. I have not found any sources confirming these plans. I am tempted to remove from the notes unless sources can be found. Ajf773 (talk) 21:25, 27 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
