National has vowed to scrap Golden Mile redevelopment if contracts remain unsigned
The project is part of the 7.4 billion dollar Let's Get Wellington Moving transport plan, and would see cars taken away between Courtenay Place and Lambton Quay.
Major works on it are set to start mid next year but, contracts for it haven't been signed yet.
The National Party's vowing to scrap the project as it currently stands if they get into Government and contracts still aren't signed off.
Their Transport Spokesperson Simeon Brown is urging the Wellington City Council to refrain from doing so until at least after the election.
