Just think how many problems it would solve if people heading towards Kilbirnie and Miramar could do so without interacting with the Wellington CBD. Imagine how much more pleasant the place would be.
The estimated cost of that is nearly 10 times what transmission Gully cost, and it’d be certainly more than that in practice. Ridiculous amounts of money, just shift some of the peak capacity.

I suspect that was done to wind people up, or at least wasn’t a serious proposal.
I do think it would be better for everyone to make it easier for traffic to get through the CBD though, especially since we can’t build a ring road.
