So, the plan is back to tunneling again? After all that song and dance about how it was too expensive for the country, it seems tunneling under is now the cheaper than trying to cut through Auckland's volcanic rock. I'm glad my neighbourhood isn't going to be dug up. I'm not sure how I missed the announcement. Sure, it’s under budget too ;-) . So, the plan is back to tunneling again?

I need to find out more, but there may be more tunnel kms to add to NZs total.
