Waka Kotahi Auckland Transport released a statement at 11am saying it had closed two northbound lanes on the bridge as well as the Curran St onramp.
“A police operation is underway and it could be some time before the incident is cleared and traffic returns to normal,” it wrote on Twitter.
Court says if the protesters wanted to get the public onside, “they should have presented the evidence that it’s going to move more people”.
“They didn’t because they don’t have any. They believe they’re above the law and above evidence.
“Today’s demonstration won’t have done cycling any favours.”
The two northbound lanes have since reopened.
