Barry Soper: ZB senior political correspondent on National's proposed roadmap for transport infrastructure spending - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Transport Minister Simeon Brown has released details on the investment, which includes 15 new 'roads of national significance' and a pothole prevention fund.

ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says the increased motor vehicle licensing fees will be the beginning of several hikes to pay for this scheme.
