Auckland motorists experienced delays this afternoon after two incidents.
Lanes one and two southbound on the Auckland Harbour Bridge were closed for an hour because of an ongoing police incident.
Just before 1pm the NZ Transport Authority Waka Kotahi warned motorists to consider an alternative route to avoid delays.
Google Maps showed the journey over the bridge taking more than half an hour for those heading south - it normally takes about four minutes. There is also a short delay for those heading north.
