Cyclists are oiling their chains for a dash down Auckland's Grafton Gully after Prime Minister John Key opens a $14 million pedalling "super-highway" tomorrow morning.
Although the 2.5-kilometre project from Upper Queen St to Quay St on the waterfront was completed several days ago, the cyclists are cooling their heels to allow Mr Key and Auckland Mayor Len Brown to cut the opening ribbon.
The project was kicked off by the Government's Transport Agency which has spent $11m on a 1.9km off-road pathway threaded through Spaghetti Junction and skirting the motorway through Grafton Gully to Churchill St near the bottom of town.
