Expected start date of October. 99% seems high - are environmental impact assessments/other ways to stop construction less impactful in NZ? https://infrastructurepipeline.org/project/Penlink

predictedYES 1y

@RobertCousineau Seems less impactful than other countries, but the bigger point is that that's all pretty much done - the project's been approved. I'd guess that that sort of regulatory approval is why it didn't get built 10 years ago.

While they haven't started building the bridge itself, they have started preparatory earthworks, so I'd be surprised if they didn't start main construction this year. You might be right that 99% is too high, though.

@NcyRocks starting earthworks? So there is still time for someone to p̵l̵a̵n̵t̵ find ancient Maori artifacts?
