This is a list of unused highways in New Zealand.
- State Highway 1 Auckland Southern Motorway, Nelson Street - a right-hand-side exit off-ramp from Auckland Southern Motorway to Nelson Street was replaced by left-hand-side exit as part of an upgrade of the Central Motorway Junction in the 2000s. The ramp remains standing as it is too expensive to demolish.
- State Highway 1 Wellington Urban Motorway, Terrace Tunnel north end - the three-lane two-way single-carriageway tunnel was built in the 1970s as the northbound half of a six-lane layout, but the southbound tunnel was not built, due to financial constraints. The pillars that would have carried the southbound carriageway into the unbuilt tunnel are clearly visible beside the motorway from the Clifton Tce carpark.
- State Highway 1 Wellington Urban Motorway, Terrace Tunnel south end - the disused two-lane one-way carriageway between the southern end of the Terrace Tunnel and Ghuznee Street was the southern end of the motorway until the Wellington Inner City Bypass opened in 2007, when the it was extended to Vivian Street.
Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, unused, highways and/or zealand:
“A man’s interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“For America is a lady rocking on a porch in an unpainted house on an unused road but Anne does not see it.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“Teasing is universal. Anthropologists have found the same fundamental patterns of teasing among New Zealand aborigine children and inner-city kids on the playgrounds of Philadelphia.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
