Transport authorities have pulled double-decker buses from the Auckland Harbour Bridge and are warning it could close completely during a massive storm forecast for much of the country. this weekend.
MetService previously said travel disruptions are likely this weekend, as severe gales, heavy rain and big waves batter the country, followed by cold Antarctic air bringing snow to low levels in the deep south.
Meteorologists believe the storm could be “one of the most widespread severe weather events this year”.
Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) general manager of transport services Brett Gliddon advised motorcyclists and those driving high-sided vehicles to avoid the bridge.

6500mm wide by 2250mm high and theres also one set that is 3000mm wide by 2050mm high. They have heavy duty metal hooks all ready for hanging. The curtains are very good quality having been made by Household Linens in Takapuna with a full thermal lining. The lining has very slight aging/ mildew in places but the actual curtains are in very good condition. They come from a smoke free household. Would love them to go to a family who need good heavy curtains for warmth. They all need to go as one lot.
