The Habour Bridge could close this evening .. with heavy winds forecast to reach 'red alert' levels. Gusts of 90 kilometre and above mean a complete shut down of the crossing for safety reasons. The wind is expected to be at its worst between now and nine tonight. Earlier in the day dodgy weather saw several lanes shut down and the speed limit reduced to 50 kilometres. The current wind watch means some motorists are already being advised to take the long way round; that is the western ring route on State Higways 16 AND 18. AT Manager of Metro Optimisation Richard Harrison, and the EMA's Alan McDonald speak to Lisa Owen. [embed] https://players.brightcove.net/6093072280001/default_default/index.html?videoId=6330490880112
