From Nine To Noon, 11:50 am on 24 April 2023

Urban issues correspondent Bill McKay joins Susie to look in depth at the five options announced as contenders for a new Auckland Harbour crossing: a variety of tunnel and new bridge routes for light rail, buses, cars and trucks, and pedestrians and cyclists.

But is there too much of a focus on commuting between the North Shore and central city? Where does that fit with spending on city and rural areas, roading and public transport? 

Bill McKay is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland.
