Labour and National are clashing over a potential mega-tunnel underneath Wellington.Â
The government's looking at a tunnel connecting The Terrace and Kilbirnie, a distance of around 4km.Â
It has been proposed to bring down travel times and reduce congestion on state highways.Â
National's Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking that they're going through a business case and analysis.Â
But Labour's Ginny Andersen, based in Lower Hutt, is sceptical about how it'll happen.Â
