The Melling Transport Improvements is an NZ Transport Agency project that will provide a safer, more resilient and accessible transport system in Te Awa Kairangi ki Tai - Lower Hutt. 

It is a Road of Regional Significance (RoRS) and a key part of Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi that will see the delivery of: 

• A new grade-separated interchange (removing the existing traffic lights and separating through traffic on the state highway/local roads).
• New and improved walking and cycling paths.
• Better connections for Tirohanga and Harbour View Road residents and businesses.
• Better access to public transport (with the relocation of the Melling train station and park and ride facilities).

Other transport improvements (e.g. upgrades to local roads, etc.) will also be delivered as part of the wider Te Wai Takamori o Te Awa Kairangi programme.
