NZTA are working on how to fix the bridge, both temporary fixes and the long term solution.
The temporary fix will start overnight on Tuesday the 22nd of September, & will enable 2 additional lanes to be opened on the bridge.
There is going to be lots of testing before opening

All southbound lanes are going to be closed overnight on the 22nd for these repairs to take place.
A longer term fix is being worked on, but there's questions about materials, testing, and the engineering requirements for this.
