Police say they will have a "significant" presence at a planned anti-mandate protest that threatens to bring the Auckland Harbour Bridge to a standstill, and warn they will "actively engage" with anyone who tries to cross it on foot.
Protesters connected to Destiny Church's Freedom and Rights Coalition are planning to illegally walk across Auckland Harbour Bridge tomorrow as part of a campaign to get the Government's Covid vaccine mandates removed.
The potentially crippling disruptive action has been met with condemnation by police, city leaders, the NZTA and the AA.
All consider it threatens to put the lives of motorists and walkers at risk, and have branded it extremely dangerous.
Today, a police spokesperson said planning continued ahead of the protest, expected to begin at a North Shore park tomorrow morning.
