Submissions on tolling the replacement gorge road have now closed, but Woodville residents are refusing to give up fighting.
Under the current proposal, those driving between Palmerston North and Woodville in a light vehicle could pay $4.30 per trip, $8.60 for a return - and up to $17.20 for heavy vehicles.
The former State Highway 3 through the Manawatū Gorge closed in 2017 due to rockfall.
Given this road is being built as a replacement for the Manawatu gorge, which was a free route, I think this would be seen as a dick move by pretty much everyone. It says a lot about how much political nouse National have that this is even being discussed.
