I would hate to do this because Australia has done it, I would like to think we could come up with other ways of using the bridge which represent New Zealand culture and attitude. I love markets and think that would be awsume to have a market day as a way of celebrating the AHB. I guess your right Bill and Don, we have a long way to go before we can get to this kind of thinking! Is this what Bill English and Don Brash are talking about when catching up to Australia?

Regarding the slope, it is overrated as a problem. There were people in wheelchairs who crossed over the bridge back in May.

Besides diverting traffic (Sydney Harbour Tunnel helps as pointed out) perhaps the biggest problem is the slope, Sydney Harbour Bridge is relatively gentle with its incline, AHB is a climb both sides, and quite a bit longer.

I think the wind, or rain, might be a bigger problem. We certainly don't seem to have much of a 'can do' attitude about this kind of thing though.
