Forecasted high winds may impact the Auckland Harbour Bridge between 5pm and 9pm today.

As a precaution, the bridge will remain in a 4 x 4 configuration throughout the evening peak to ensure safety.

Motorist are advised to drive to the conditions and pay attention to electronic message boards on the motorway, which will advise if any lane closures and reduced speed limits are required.

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) works with Metservice to monitor conditions to ensure we are making decisions based on up-to-date and accurate information on predicted and current wind speeds. We use this information to determine risk and implement speed reductions, lane closures or bridge closures.
