From Checkpoint, 5:07 pm on 30 March 2023

A new crossing for Auckland's Waitematā Harbour has been talked about for decades but now the government has set a date for construction to start, and it is within this decade.

Works on an alternative crossing are to begin in 2029, but first, people need to choose one of five options, involving a mix of tunnels and bridges, and allowing for light rail, walking, and cycling.

Then there's the question on whether it gets overturned by a change of government.

Checkpoint reporter Tom Taylor and camera operator Nick Monro have the story.
