Thank you for your email of 12 October 2024 requesting the following information under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act):
I am requesting documentation regarding traffic management of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
Specially, the documentation should cover plans and procedures for typical peak and off-peak
times, extreme weather conditions, incidents and emergency situations. Details on operations for
lane management and variable signage (ie speed and directional/information signs) should be

I am withholding some information in these documents under section 9(2)(a) of the Act to protect the
privacy of natural persons.
With respect to the information that has been withheld, I do not consider there are any other factors
which would render it desirable, in the public interest, to make the information available.
