Traffic is heavy on Welcome Bay Rd. Photo / File

Heavy traffic is causing delays in Welcome Bay this morning.

Motorists have taken to social media complaining about the congestion saying it was heavy then usual.

One commented: "Heaviest traffic this far for this year. I thought it was an accident! Seems it's just lots of vehicles for some reason and letting people on from other roads."

No accidents have been reported in the area.

Another commented: "The traffic is the worst ever today it's now backed up to Waikite Rd."
