Commuters heading home after work today should expect delays with heavy traffic congesting all motorways in and out of Auckland.
NZ Transport Agency's real-time traffic updates have indicated heavy traffic all over the city, which could be worsened by the wet weather.
On the Northern Motorway, traffic is heavy but easing northbound from Tristram Ave to Upper Harbour Highway. Citybound it is heavy between Northcote Rd and the Harbour bridge.
On the Southern Motorway, traffic is heavy southbound from Symonds St to Market Rd, again at Manukau, then from Manurewa to Takanini. Northbound it is heavy from Highbrook to Greenlane.
On the Northwestern Motorway, westbound traffic is heavy between Rosebank Rd and Lincoln Rd, and citybound there is a queue from the Northern Link. However traffic at the Waterview Tunnel is currently flowing freely.
