33953 (2026). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister of Transport: How many state highway and local road bridges are currently subject to restrictions that limit or prevent the movement of agricultural machinery that exceeds the standard Vehicle Dimensions and Mass limits?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised by NZTA that it is unable to provide an exact number, as this is dependent on a specific assessment of route and vehicle to identify the restrictions required to cross the structure.
