If you're a North Shore resident, or travelling out of Auckland for the holidays, don't forget resealing works are taking place on the bridge during the Christmas and New Year period. While the work has been scheduled for the time of year when traffic is at its quietest, motorists should be aware that there could be some delays. The work is essential for the upkeep and maintenance of the harbour bridge.
