Govt unveils major transport projects, new Ak harbour crossing

From Midday Report, 12:13 pm on 4 June 2021

The government has unveiled a nine billion dollar suite of transport projects, including a nearly 800 million dollar bridge over the Auckland Harbour for pedestrians and cyclists. Not everyone is happy though -- with some road projects being dropped, such as the Mill Road upgrade. The Minister saying it would've cost $3.5 billion and spewed some 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide into the air every day. Jordan Bond discusses the issue with Max Towle.
