A motorbike crash blocked motorists heading south over the Auckland Harbour Bridge and left a person critically hurt.
Authorities reduced the bridge to two lanes, with a traffic jam building at the site. At 1.50pm Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said on X that the serious crash unit had completed its investigation and all lanes were open. It asked motorists to expect delays.
The agency had asked motorists to consider using the Western Ring Route going along State Highways 18 and 16 as an alternative.
The crash on the bridge occurred at around 12.10pm today.
“One person is in a critical condition,” a police spokesman said.
