Delays were caused on the Tauranga motorway network Thursday afternoon after a shed fell off a trailer on State Highway 29A.
Emergency services were called to the scene near Poike shortly before 4pm and the incident subsequently triggered a "large backlog" of traffic, police said.
Google Maps showed the main thoroughfares in the southern Tauranga area heavily congested with traffic, including SH29A towards the Kaimai Ranges and Fraser St/Oropi Rd.
