Auckland homeowners who sold their properties to make way for a walking and cycling bridge over the Waitematā harbour have been left in limbo, now the project's been scrapped.
The government set aside almost $800 million for the new crossing, and while the idea was dropped almost as soon as it had been announced - behind the scenes the wheels had already started turning.
The Transport Agency paid out $12 million for four houses at Northcote and while some have moved out and on, others are fighting to stay put.
