Auckland Harbour Bridge

When wind gusts reach higher than 75km/h speeds limits may be reduced and some lanes on the bridge may close. If wind gusts reach 90km/h, we would need to fully close the bridge for short periods because it's unsafe for any vehicle to be on the bridge and the bridge structure is vulnerable to vehicle impacts.

Not only can you climb to the top of the Auckland Harbour Bridge, but you can also jump from it attached to a bungy cord. You can even to choose to dip your head in the water.

The Auckland Harbour Bridge opened in 1959 and plays a critical role in the State Highway network, connecting the city to Auckland's North Shore and beyond.

This engineering marvel signified a new, progressive urban identity for Australia. It quickly became a symbol to promote tourism and immigration. The bridge takes centre stage in Sydney's New Year's Eve celebrations, with images beamed across the world.
