Wind: Harbour Bridge
This evening (Monday, 14th October) there will be high winds and NZTA have shared a message for those using the Harbour Bridge.
What you need to know:
- The wind watch is for between 8pm Monday 14 October and 9am Tuesday 15 October.
- At this time, the Harbour Bridge will be in 4 x 4 formation. This may remain for the Tuesday morning peak traffic.
- During this period be prepared for speed and lane restrictions.
- Motorists are urged to drive to the conditions and look out for the electronic message boards and traffic management which will indicate lane closures and reduced speeds, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge.
- If gusts exceed the wind thresholds there is a possibility of a temporary full closure on the bridge.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18. We also recommend other motorists use the western ring route where possible.
NZTA will continue to work closely with Metservice to monitor conditions and ensure decisions are made based on up-to-date and accurate information on predicted and current wind speeds. You can keep up to date with traffic at the NZTA website.

Thank you all who helped this year
"Wearing my heart out to my amazing neighbours -
THANK YOU for an incredible year! 🙏🏼
Your generosity in donating lawnmowers to restore and resell has enabled me to volunteer in prison every month, sharing hope and encouragement with the guys inside. There are lives being changed, testimonies being born, and yes, there are also lives not changed YET... but I won't give up! 😊 I'll keep turning up, month after month, year after year, because I know there is lives to be change.
If you still have lawnmowers you don't want or have upgraded, please keep donating! Every mower contributes to the ripple effect of changing a man’s soul, which can change a nation. 🌟 Wishing you all a wonderful festive season and a happy, healthy new year! 🙏🏼 #blessed #gratitude #prisonministry #changinglives"
