Auckland, Nov 2, 2016 - Auckland's Harbour Bridge SkyPath cycling and walkway crossing gets resource consentChief Environment Judge Laurie Newhook approved SkyPath's consent in the Environment Court today. Auckland Council said in a statement this afternoon it "welcomed" the result. In July the council voted unanimously in favour of the project being built by HRL Morrison and Co's Public Infrastructure Partnership Fund - a private organisation.
If constructed as planned the SkyPath would be 1km long and 4m wide and would run from Westhaven Marina on the CBD side of the bridge to Northcote Point on the North Shore. It would have five viewing platforms, where the bridge would expand to 6m wide.
