David Parker: Transport Minister says alternative Waitemata Harbour crossing will be built within clear timeframe

The Government today announced plans to build an alternative Waitemata Harbour crossing, alongside further upgrades to Auckland's North Shore. The alternative crossing includes two three-lane road tunnels and a 21 kilometre Light Rail tunnel between Albany and the CBD. Transport Minister David Parker is confident the second Waitemata Harbour crossing will be built within a clear timeframe. "We've had extra lines being put in on the railway, we've had the City Rail Link built. Those are political insults, rather than fact-based."
