Description:

High winds this week once again closed Auckland’s Harbour Bridge, something that has become a regular and frustrating occurrence in recent years.  

After 64 years, there’s confusion as to why strong winds are now a concern – and what it means for the long-term stability of the vital transport link. 

But what are the options for a potential replacement or complementary harbour crossing, and is there the political appetite to do this?  

NZ Herald senior writer Simon Wilson joins Damien on The Front Page to discuss the present concerns with the bridge, and the future solutions.
