Garth Falconer: Reset Urban Design architect proposes new six-lane ‘Waitematā Bridge’ crossing for Auckland

As the debate over a second Auckland harbour crossing continues, one architect has proposed an alternative solution.  Reset co-director Garth Falconer has proposed a new six-lane ‘Waitematā Bridge’ positioned 500m from the Auckland Harbour Bridge, costing under $2.5 billion. Falconer says he's discussed this idea with Auckland mayor Wayne Brown - and he's open to additional crossings.  "We've had a good discussion and he's interested in looking at multiple crossings and looking at opportunities for urban regeneration."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
