Motorists should expect “significant delays” following a multi-vehicle crash at the intersection of Omanawa Rd and State Highway 29.
Tauranga Transport Operations Centre systems operator Richard Brignall said at 5.15pm one lane was “completely blocked” and emergency services were at the scene.
Motorists were advised to delay travel or take an alternate route.
“Expect significant delays over and above expected peak traffic.”
Police and St John were contacted for comment.
