AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The government is considering road and rail infrastructure into the port, and planning work is under way to determine future needs. (2) Until the necessary planning work is completed, the government is not in a position to advise whether grade-separated intersections will be provided along Harbour Road. However, a variety of improvement options will be considered as part of the current planning work, including the feasibility of grade-separated intersections.
