The Government has today announced that construction on a second Waitematā harbour crossing will begin in 2029.
Five possible combinations of tunnels and bridges were revealed at Chris Hipkins and Michael Wood's media announcement this morning.
The Government also confirmed there will be a regular walking and cycling connection across the harbour for the first time.
ZB's senior political correspondent Barry Soper says he's certain this construction won't be started by 2029, and that this announcement was obviously deflecting from the Stuart Nash issue.
