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.
