The bridge is a one-way system controlled by traffic lights at present, where cars stop at the white line to activate the lights. An NZTA spokesperson said the issue at the Albert Town bridge was something NZTA was aware of and it was looking at technical solutions to address the issue. "More broadly, NZTA is looking at the busy connection between Wānaka and Lake Hāwea to see what improvements may be needed in the longer term," they said.
