This is a construction that I think started in late 2012 but it is New Zealand's biggest motorway development so far. It is called the Waterview connection it is going to connect great north road all the way to Owarika. it is going to be a 2.5 motorway tunnel. and they have completed digging the main tunnel. Below are a piece of the plans.Below the pictures will show you the northern portal and the Southern portal.

So it is bassically going to connect SH16 with SH20. It is also said that it will take 15 minutes less from Auckland CBD to Auckland airport. The construction will end in Middle 2016.
