Here’s the official Police statement:
Please attribute to a Police Spokesperson:
Police actively engaged with the protest organisers this morning to deter them from unlawfully crossing the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
In order to avoid escalating the situation and thus creating further significant safety risks to the public, Police closely monitored the group as they walked along the two outside lanes of the Harbour Bridge and all southbound lanes were closed in order to manage safety risks.
The protestors are now gathering in Victoria Park as planned and Auckland Harbour Bridge and motorway are now reopening.

Anti-mandate agitators are chanting “mandates gone by 1st of March” and “freedom” as a protest – including a march across Auckland’s Harbour Bridge – gets under way.
People gathered on Auckland’s North Shore and at Victoria Park in the city ahead of a protest event which will potentially cause traffic chaos for motorists.
The march towards the bridge started just before 11.30am. A Herald reporter on the scene estimates the crowd of people as numbering in the thousands.
The harbour bridge is closed southbound according to a motorist heading over the bridge going north.
