State Highway 58 is a New Zealand State Highway in the Wellington Region linking the Hutt Valley to Porirua. The two lane 15.3 km highway leaves State Highway 2 at Haywards and goes over the Haywards Hill via Judgeford to a future interchange with the proposed Transmission Gully Motorway at Pauatahanui. Then it skirts the southern side of the Pauatahanui Inlet of Porirua Harbour and the suburb of Whitby, to join State Highway 1 at Paremata near Porirua. Grays Road skirts the northern side of the Pauatahanui Inlet and joins State Highway 1 at Plimmerton and is used as a short cut to State Highway 1 if going north; but it is a local road not of highway standard, and has been criticised as ''treacherous'' and not suitable for heavy trucks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Truck rolls on treacherous Plimmerton road )〕 In June 2010 a road assessment programme found that the Haywards Hill road was amongst the worst in the Wellington region, scoring only 2 out a possible 5. In November 2014 upgrades costing $30 million were announced, with $2.5 million of work to start immediately. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Haywards Hill should be a major connection )〕 Construction of a new $42 million elevated interchange at the intersection of SH2 and SH58 at Haywards will commence in 2015 and will take two to three years to complete; having been brought forward by the New Zealand Transport Agency. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fast track for new $42m interchange )〕 The project includes a new "park and ride" car park at Manor Park Railway Station and a linking pedestrian overbridge to replace an existing underpass across SH2 to Manor Park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= SH2/58 Haywards Interchange )〕 ==History== The road was first formed during the 1870s.〔W. B. Healy, "Pauatahanui Inlet - an environmental study", New Zealand Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, 1980. ISSN 0077-9636〕 From the 1940s to the 1970s there were proposals for a railway line, the Haywards–Plimmerton Line, via this route. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Zealand State Highway 58」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
