The Transport Minister says we need to crack on with a second Waitemata Harbour crossing in Auckland.

He's released five options for the project, now set to begin in 2029, and people can express their preference until May 1.

Michael Wood says it will take years, no matter what plan's picked - and who's in Government.

He says this has to happen.

"The North Shore is going to grow by 150,000 thousand people by 2035. Auckland will soon be a city of 2.5 million people. We've got to get this investment in place."
