Help Bike Auckland share the vision for a more joyous, inclusive, and climate-friendly Auckland Harbour Bridge

It’s 2024, and the Auckland Harbour Bridge is finally open to all modes of everyday transport.

Using a dedicated lane protected from motor traffic, people can now freely walk, scoot, cycle and roll across the Waitematā – saving time and money, and breathing in the stunning view across the water.

Everyone can travel across the Bridge in the way that they wish to.

This is the Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland we dream of.

We have been promised a fully walkable and bikeable harbour crossing since even before the Harbour Bridge was built! Though several ideas have been discussed, planned, and cancelled, we still do not have a way to get across Te Waitematā.

Our solution? To Liberate the Lane! We can give people more transport freedom by reallocating 1 of the 8 lanes on the Harbour Bridge to walking, cycling and wheeling.

With your help, we can share our vision of a joyous, inclusive, climate friendly supercity to thousands more people; building awareness, and increasing public pressure to bridge this glaring gap in the heart of our transport system. By sharing inspiring imagery on buses, we can directly reach the communities this is most relevant to: the North Shore, the CBD, and of course anyone who uses the Harbour Bridge.

Together we will urge Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency) that they can - and should - provide access for walking, cycling, and wheeling across the Bridge now.

Give a little and support our mahi to Liberate the Lane: for equity, for health, and for te taiao.
