It will also be lit up again tonight, just a few days out from Anzac Day.
On Anzac Day - next Wednesday - a special light and sound show will begin from 5am to 6.30am to coincide with the start of the traditional dawn services being held all around New Zealand settlements.
The animation will feature references to a journey across water to a war zone.
There will be images of the Southern Cross, a silver fern, and a special reference to the Maori Battalion.
The show will end with the bridge lighting up completely in red, showing a field of poppies blowing in the wind, before going dark against the dawn sky.
Today is Poppy Day and RSA volunteers will be on streets throughout New Zealand selling red poppies.
The annual appeal helps to fund care and support for those veterans from World War 2 through to Afghanistan and current New Zealand Defence Force members and service families.
