It's time to get on with Auckland's next Waitemata Harbour crossing.

The Government plans to decide by mid next year what kind of bridge or tunnel will be built, and break ground on the project by 2030.

Waka Kotahi's holding community engagement events to hear the public's thoughts, with consultation closing at the end of January.

He says while he isn't against a bridge, they are harder to gain consent for.
