Matt Lowrie: Greater Auckland Director says it's impossible for tolls to pay current construction costs as suggested by ACT

A suggestion the economics in ACT's latest transport policy won't stack up.

The Party says it would fund roading infrastructure with toll roads and more public-private partnerships.

Greater Auckland Director Matt Lowrie says today's cost of construction means there's no way tolls could pay it off.

"Look at something like Transmission Gully- you'd probably be looking at a toll of around $20 per car, per trip to cover the cost of construction. That was before the cost increased by 50 percent."
