Transmission Gully resurfacing is causing disruption for businesses, in the lead-up to Christmas.

After just eight months of being open, parts of the major highway are being resurfaced to prevent future damage, reducing stretches of the road to one lane.

Kapiti Coast Chamber of Commerce co-chair Heather Hutchings told Heather du-Plessis Allan that businesses are going through enough stress at this time of year — and this just adds to it. 

She says businesses are gearing up for a break after a long few years, but product still needs to be delivered between Wellington and Kapiti.
