10 new roads of national significance

Stuff reports:

The Manawatu Gorge is one of 10 major roading upgrades that form a new multibillion dollar vision announced by the Party.

The party's Roads of National Significance plan will invest $10.5 billion into roads across the country. …

The nine other roads included in the proposal were:

* Wellsford to Whangarei
* Auckland's East-West link
to Tirau
* Piarere to the foot of the Kaimai Range
to Katikati
* Napier to
* Levin to Sanson
* The Christchurch Northern Motorway, and Christchurch to .

Wellsford to Whangarei would especially be good in helping 's economic development.

The roads all look good, but for me what is important is whether the benefit to cost ratio is positive for them.  The priority should go to the roads with the highest BCRs.
