Motorists are being told to expect some delays on Auckland’s motorway network this morning, after a temporary tunnel closure, crash and car fire.
The Waterview Tunnel was closed for at least 15 minutes due to a potential overheight vehicle in the southbound lane, heading towards Mt Roskill.
The temporary closure was announced by Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency at 7.30am. By 7.45am, authorities said all three lanes had since been fully open.
Despite that, members of the public are being told to allow for extra travel time this morning, as delays in the area ease.
