A balancing act is underway to decide which Roads of National Significance will begin construction next. 

The Government's funnelling $1.2billion into the programme's 17 projects - which includes highway sections in Northland, Nelson, Hamilton, and Wellington.
 
Transport Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking they're now going through a prioritisation exercise as a Government. 

He says they have all the investment cases, and they're working out a rough order of sequence. 

Bishop says they can't build them all at once, noting they want to ensure a regional spread.
