A long promised Auckland highway will cost motorists who want to drive over it. The O Mahurangi Penlink connection is set to open in 2026, and will connect the Whangaparoa Peninsula to State Highway 1.
It will shave 20 minutes off the drive time but will cost $3 each way at peak times.
Some locals say the new highway shouldn't be tolled, and some others are annoyed it's only one lane each way.
Finn Blackwell and camera operator Nick Monro have the story.
