Lane layout changes along Auckland’s Northwestern Motorway caused major delays and a multi-vehicle car crash this morning as motorists adjusted to the changes.
Waka Kotahi NZTA advised motorists that the eastbound lanes between St Lukes and Newton Rds had been realigned to make the left lane an exit-only lane to Newton Rd.
It later reported that a car had flipped onto its side and was blocking the right eastbound lanes between St Lukes Rd and Newton Rd. Other lanes were brought to a standstill with crashed vehicles left straddling lanes.
The crash has now been cleared but delays were still expected.
