Harbour Bridge: Aucklanders face crawl into work

From Morning Report, 6:09 am on 21 September 2020

Thousands of Aucklanders face a crawl into work this morning, as only half of the lanes on the Harbour Bridge are open. Four of the bridge's eight lanes could be closed for weeks, after a freak gust of wind on Friday blew a truck into a structurally important load-bearing strut. Commuters are being asked to work from home if they can, catch public transport or travel outside peak times. We're crossing now live to our Auckland reporter, Amy Williams, who is on the Shelley Beach Road offramp with a view of the Harbour Bridge.
