How can Auckland solve its harbour crossing debate?

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.   How does this plan stack up with other proposals, and why is it taking so long to get this long debated crossing off the ground?  Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior writer Simon Wilson joins us to discuss our biggest city’s biggest transport headache.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
