The Infrastructure Minister believes a toll is a fair way of paying for a new Auckland harbour crossing.  

The Infrastructure Commission’s 30-year plan makes 10 recommendations for what should be prioritised over the next decade, with hospital investment topping the list.  

The plan suggests the extra crossing in Auckland, tunnel or bridge, gets a $9 toll, but the Government is still weighing up whether the existing bridge should also be tolled. 

Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking ultimately, roads have to be paid for. 

He says the second harbour crossing will be the biggest infrastructure project ever built in New Zealand, and they think it will wind up being tolled as it’s a fair way of paying for the project.
