The Hawke's Bay Chamber of Commerce says widening the region's key road will benefit everyone.  

The Hawke's Bay Expressway is being upgraded from two lanes to four as part of the Roads of National Significance programme. 

The route carries 29,000 vehicles a day, including those transporting goods to and from the Napier port. 

Chamber Chief Executive Karla Lee told Mike Hosking it's well past its use-by-date.  

She says a lot of trucks use it to get to the port, which is incredibly important for their freight. 

Lee says it's also huge for the commuters who go between Napier and Hastings every day.
