Auckland Harbour Bridge CLOSED
1:40PM UPDATE: Bridge now reopened but with limited lanes.
_______________________________________
Waka Kotahi shared that the Auckland Harbour Bridge is now closed to both northbound and southbound traffic as of 1:10PM due to weather.
Damaging gales were predicted to blow up to 110km/h, while strong wind watches are in place for nearly the entire North Island.
MetService said the gales could cause power cuts in Northland, Auckland and Waikato, with the highest winds on westerly coastlines likely to down trees.
What you need to know:
- The Harbour Bridge is closed due to high gust winds.
- Vehicles needing to travel should detour via the Western Ring Route (SH18/SH16) at this time.

Two dogs - one dead pet hen, one dead duck
There have been two dogs roaming around the waterfront properties on Pine Ridge Tce in the morning, afternoon, and late at night. They have killed two birds that I know of. One dead pet hen, one dead duck. One dog is tall, whitish, and the other is possibly black, smallish, with white blotches (sorry, the description is vague). Can the owners please control their dogs? Apart from pets on properties, the area is of ecological significance and home to endangered shorebirds. I like dogs and have had two of my own. I understand the responsibilities involved. Could the owners of the roaming dogs in the area please take measures to control them and ensure no further harm to pets and wildlife?
