In a tweet, the NZTA is asking travellers, especially those in high-sided vehicles or using motorcycles, to take care due to wind gusts.
In September the bridge's centre span was left severely damaged aftera truck crashed into it.
The bridge was damaged after a southbound truck carrying a shipping container was blown sideways by a wind gust of up to 127km/h.
