We still don't know what it will look like or when it will be built, but any progress is welcome.
It would be interesting to know how much money has gone into conducting all the meetings, investigations, discussions, plans etc. have cost for the potential second Auckland Harbour crossing. Perhaps enough to have built a bridge and get over it?
As of June (per the BusinessDesk report I shared), about 36m! So quite a lot, maybe not quite enough for a bridge though haha – SSL
Enough to fill more than a few bellies, build some houses.
Isn't he entitled to be out of touch?
Given that there is already a second harbour crossing over the Waitemata,
Dunedin hospital should be sorted out first. Motorists already alternate between the Highway 1 and the Highway 18 crossing when traffic is bad.
Perhaps someone should tell our dear leader that being in touch does not mean laying on of hands or pawing people he meets. Just a thought.
It will be a *third* harbour crossing. The Western Ring Route was built at a total cost of about $4b to provide redundancy, especially for freight.
Should do what they did in Mangere - build a new bridge right beside the old one!
Just take a lane, now, to give Aucklanders choice...
(or even just bike racks on the damn busway buses)
