Aucklanders could have a new harbour crossing sooner than first thought.

Construction of a second bridge or tunnel across or under the Waitemata harbour is expected to begin in 2029.

Five options are on the table, all of which include provisions for walking, cycling and light rail connecting to the central city.

Auckland Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson spoke to Māni Dunlop.
