Sue BidroseMaking the new Dunedin Hospital a part of the city rather than an island separated by busy one-way streets will be one challenge for the new transport network project. Construction of the hospital on a site between busy Cumberland and Castle Sts is expected to begin in late 2020, ending in mid-2026. The meeting was organised by the Dunedin City Council and the NZ Transport Agency. Other organisations involved included the University of Otago, Otago Regional Council, Port Otago and the Chamber of Commerce. She said there was ''a fair amount of agreement'' the one-way streets made it difficult to get across the city, for pedestrians in particular.
