NZ Transport Agency statement: Tino Rangatiratanga flag
The NZ Transport Agency says that as a result of high winds the Tino Rangatiratanga flag has been unable to be raised on the Auckland Harbour Bridge this morning.
A team, including safety engineers has been on standby to raise the flag since dawn, but wind speeds on the bridge have been around 37 knots.
Anything higher than 20 knots is deemed to be unsafe for staff and could also risk the flag blowing or ripping and causing hazards for traffic.
All flags have now been removed.
The weather is being monitored and at this stage a further attempt to raise the flag will be made around lunch time.
