New Zealand's Waterview project is moving closer to completion and will be the largest road project in the country. The NZ$2 billion Western Ring Route will see the creation of an alternative motorway to State Highway 1, which runs through the centre of Auckland. The 47km-long motorway will allow a large portion of passenger traffic and freight to bypass the central business district (CBD), which in turn will ease pressure on SHI and the Auckland Harbour Bridge, and make travel times more reliable. Its key projects include raising and widening the causeway across the harbour, and constructing a pair of new tunnels and a spectacular new interchange at the tunnels' northern portal.
