Traffic on Auckland’s Southern Motorway is gridlocked after an earlier crash involving several vehicles which left all but one lane blocked.
The multi-vehicle crash at 2.30pm on the busy stretch of State Highway 1 between Takanini and Papakura initially blocked the right southbound lane.
Shortly after, Waka Kotahi NZTA saidthree lanes were blocked and motorists should expect delays.
As Friday rush hour approaches, the Herald understands traffic is backed up from Papakura to Manukau.
In its latest update, Waka Kotahi NZTA said all lanes had re-opened as of 3.05pm, but commuters should expect some delays.
