Motorway woes continue with a car fire on SH1 not far from where a container truck has rolled, spilling tonnes of carpet glue across a South Auckland highway on-ramp.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency confirmed at 11.20am a car fire near Redoubt Rd on-ramp has left two southbound lanes blocked on State Highway 1.
Traffic has come to a stop while vehicle burns fiercely at the side of the road and plumes of black smoke billow across the motorway.
The fire comes as emergency services are already busy attempting to block the drains at the motorway entrance to redirect a large glue spill.
