We close lanes and reduce speeds when there’s the potential for wind gusts to overturn or push a vehicle into the bridge, causing damage to the bridge’s support structure.

Waka Kotahi has a responsibility to protect people on and around the Auckland Harbour Bridge as well as the structural integrity of the bridge.

Find out why the harbour bridge may need to occasionally close in order to keep it open for longer.
