High winds on Harbour Bridge
NZTA Waka Kotahi has shared an important message about the Harbour Bridge.
What you need to know:
- MetService has issued a strong wind warning for the Auckland region.
- Wind warning on Auckland Harbour Bridge today with strong wind gusts from now until early afternoon (approximately 1pm).
- In preparation the lanes on the Harbour Bridge will be in 4 x 4 formation mid morning, and remain in place until the warning has been lifted.
- There will be speed and lane restrictions in place. Motorists are urged to drive to the conditions and look out for the electronic message boards which will indicate lane closures or full closures (depending on wind thresholds) and reduced speeds, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge today and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18. NZTA recommends motorists use the western ring route where possible.

Hello from Ocean Bali Spa
Hello everyone, my name is Yana I’m originally from Bali. I’ve been living and working in the area for 7+ years now. I was known as Tiwi and I was a professional massage therapist/ beautician working in one of the finest establishments in St Heliers.
Now I have Ocean Bali Spa at 287E St Heliers Bay Road and have been enjoying being part of this vibrant and supportive local community. It has been so rewarding to meet and help so many people with their aches and pains or just enabling them to enjoy a relaxing massage or rejuvenating facial.
