Second workday dawns on stricken Harbour Bridge

From Morning Report, 7:20 am on 22 September 2020

Auckland commuters will likely face another day of heavy traffic over the harbour bridge.

Four of the bridge's eight lanes are closed and may be for weeks, after a truck hit by a gust of wind on Friday damaged a strut of the bridge's arch.

The transport agency's travel times dashboard show traffic into the city over the Harbour Bridge began getting congested early this morning.

This week Aucklanders are being asked to work from home if they can, catch public transport or travel outside peak times.
