The Northern Infrastructure Forum says key highway projects will deliver game-changing perks.\xa0

Its data shows the proposed Warkworth to Wellsford and Cambridge to Piarere routes would each add up to $500 million annually to our GDP once operational.\xa0

That's $6 billion over 20 years.\xa0

It would be generated through improved supply chain efficiency, resilience, and business productivity.\xa0

Forum Chair, Simon Bridges, told Mike Hosking that the strongest message is that we should get on with these.\xa0

He said that ignoring them is leaving money on the table.\xa0
