Reports circulating that the Auckland Harbour Bridge have been closed due to extreme weather are false.

The bridge has not been closed at any time, and remains open.

The NZTA continually monitors conditions on the bridge to ensure the safety of all bridge users, which is our primary concern.

Today's situation was assessed and the decision was made to keep the bridge open.

Strong winds and surface water are still present on the bridge and we encourage all users to drive with caution.
