The government's hoping to get cross party support for a new Auckland harbour crossing, unveiling five options today with an accelerated timeline.
The multi-billion dollar proposals include different combinations of tunnels and bridges with cycling and walking access, as well as light rail.
A final decision will be made in June with a construction start date of 2029. Transport Minister, Michael Wood has described it as a nation-shaping anouncement.
Simeon Brown, National's spokesperson for Auckland and for Transport says today's anouncement is rushed, despite having called for the government to get moving on a second crossing.
