Description

A replacement bridge, or a second one – or how about a tunnel instead? 

The ongoing debate about a new harbour crossing in Auckland has reignited, with Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown laying out his vision for a second bridge, instead of the tunnel proposed by Labour. 

The proposal has already proved controversial as it would require building through Meola Reef to Kauri Point.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior writer Simon Wilson joins us to discuss our biggest city’s biggest transport headache.
