NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is urging drivers to take extra care and be prepared for the possibility of lane closures or reduced speeds on the Auckland Harbour Bridge tomorrow morning.

Between 6am and 10am tomorrow (Friday 27 June), wind gusts on the bridge are forecast to hit 70-80km/h, with the potential to reach 90km/h, triggering an amber alert.

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.

The bridge will remain in 4x4 configuration for tomorrow morning.

NZTA thanks road users for their patience and understanding. Any closures or restrictions will be notified via our social media channels.
