New Zealand plans to reopen closed railways to reduce road use, cut costs, and lower emissions by shifting freight to rail.
New Zealand is considering reopening mothballed railway lines to ease road congestion, reduce freight costs, and cut infrastructure spending amid increasing road damage from severe weather.
Advocates say shifting freight like logs and dairy products from trucks to rail—particularly on routes from Napier to Gisborne and Stratford to Okahukura—could boost KiwiRail’s freight share from 9% to 30%, lower emissions, improve safety, and save billions in road maintenance.
With major road projects delayed due to budget constraints, rail is seen as a more sustainable, cost-effective alternative.
