Auckland motorists heading north over the Harbour Bridge are facing delays this morning.

A breakdown blocked the middle northbound lane of the Harbour Bridge just before the top about 8.10am and traffic has backed up.

The NZ Transport Agency said the car had been moved but congestion was back to the Victoria Park Tunnel.

UPDATE 8:25AM
This breakdown now pushed clear, so all 3 lanes are available again. Allow extra time northbound as congestion from Vic Park Tunnel slowly eases. ^TP
