Garth Falconer: Reset Urban Design architect proposes new six-lane ‘Waitematā Bridge’ crossing for Auckland
Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays
As the debate over a second Auckland harbour crossing continues, one architect has proposed an alternative solution. Reset co-director Garth Falconer has proposed a new six-lane ‘Waitematā Bridge’ positioned 500m from the Auckland Harbour Bridge, costing under $2.5 billion. Falconer says he's discussed this idea with Auckland mayor Wayne Brown - and he's open to additional crossings. "We've had a good discussion and he's interested in looking at multiple crossings and looking at opportunities for urban regeneration." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
