Man behind proposal for 18-lane Auckland Harbour Bridge seeks local board seat
The man behind a proposal to upgrade Auckland’s Harbour Bridge into an 18-lane superstructure is running for local government.
Lawyer Will McKenzie said he gained confidence in his ideas while working as John Tamihere’s policy advisor in his 2019 run for the Auckland mayoralty.
McKenzie will contest the Albert-Eden Local Board by-election against lawyer and transport advocate Bernadette Power, who calls his ideas “far-fetched”.
