Ross Copland: Southern Infrastructure CEO on the Queenstown cable car project obtaining fast-track approval
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Queenstown's proposed cable car network could open as early as 2029 if fast track approval's granted.
The network would link the town centre with the airport, Frankton, and the Ladies Mile – moving up to three-thousand passengers each way per hour.
Ten-million cars drive on Frankton Road, making it the country's second busiest single-carriageway road.
Southern Infrastructure CEO Ross Copland told Mike Hosking the network can be built without impacting traffic.
He says Queenstown locals are sick of having road cones everywhere.
