The New Zealand Government will invest around $40 million from Budget 2026 to enhance the resilience of State Highway 94 between Te Anau and Milford, a crucial route for tourism to Milford Sound. Upgrades include widening roadways and strengthening retaining walls at key sites to prevent disruptions from natural hazards, with additional work planned on SH94 and other vulnerable South Island highways. This $150 million-plus package aims to reduce community disruptions, support businesses, and improve freight and visitor access, reflecting a significant funding boost for South Island roads under the 2024-27 National Land Transport Plan.
