Auckland Harbour Bridge traffic jams after overnight roadworks breakdown

Brian from Mount Roskill

Commuters from Auckland’s North Shore can expect long delays this morning after roadwork equipment broke down on the harbour bridge, blocking lanes.
The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) said at 6am a “piece of roadworks equipment” had failed, which delayed the reopening of the bridge after an overnight closure.
Only two out of the five lanes were open.
At 6.10, the agency shared that one further lane had reopened and urged motorists to allow extra time for their commute.
Traffic is “heavily congested” from Tristram Ave to the Harbour Bridge, NZTA said.
At 6.20am, NZTA confirmed all lanes on the bridge were now opened. However, heavy congestion was still expected and it advised extra time for southbound travellers.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
