Message from NZTA

Waka Kotahi NZTA says the Auckland Harbour Bridge barrier lanes

will remain at their standard configuration because staff who operate machinery

to move it are impacted by Covid-19.

The machinery moves the barrier ensuring morning and afternoon

peak to allow for a better flow of traffic, this machinery won't be in

operation for the rest of the week.

This means right lanes, which are usually reconfigured to

accommodate peak traffic times will remain evenly split - four northbound and

four southbound.

Lower traffic volumes due to people working from home or at home

isolating, will minimise the impact on people travelling over the bridge.

NZTA ask for motorist patience while they support their staff

getting well and returning to work when they can safely do so.

They will advise as soon as the machinery is back in operation.
