Calls to overhaul East West Link plan
There are calls for the Government and Auckland Council to rapidly overhaul the East West Link plan.
30 April 2018
The 1.85 billion dollar road - connecting State Highway 20 at Onehunga, and State Highway 1 at Mt Wellington - was placed under review after the election.
The Government now says it'll still go ahead - only at lower cost.
Onehunga Enhancement Society chairman Jim Jackson says the original route would have split Onehunga in half, isolated the port, and severed a connection between Onehunga and the Mangere Bridge town centre.
He says the link should run from Onehunga to Highbrook, with tunnels under Mount Richmond and the Tamaki River.
