Traffic flow is returning to normal after a truck caused congestion on Hewletts Rd this morning.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said delays in the area were caused by a “public event”.
Tauranga Transport Operations Centre said a truck was blocking the Totora St entrance outside a BP service station and causing “significant” congestion on Hewletts Rd back towards the Harbour Bridge.
Police responded to the report of the truck blocking a lane around 10.50am. A spokeswoman said traffic was diverted from Totara St for a short period and there were no arrests.
