To improve access between the south-western Motorway and Onehunga to Pakuranga arterial route.
The construction will begin in 2008 and the contractor has not appointed yet.
Transit New Zealand has advised that it is currently in the tender process in respect of the Manukau Harbour Crossing project. Auckland City Council conducted resource consent hearings in respect of the project from 21st March to 24th April 2007..
