A breakdown on Auckland's Harbour Bridge caused temporary delays for motorists heading home this afternoon.
Police said they were alerted to the breakdown in one of the southbound lanes about 5pm.
Traffic built up around around the Esmonde Rd onramp and on the bridge, but was flowing freely by 6pm.
While the New Zealand Transport Agency said earlier in the afternoon there had been a small build-up of Auckland-bound traffic north of Pokeno at the junction of SH1 and SH2, as well as between Wellsford and the city, traffic had eased since.
There had also been concerns holiday motorists would cause delays on roads in and out of Wellington, however police had not yet had any reports of problems.
