According to Waka Kotahi's traffic dashboard, the commute from Albany to Manukau via SH20, which usually took 32 minutesin free-flowing traffic, was taking 1 hour and 15 minutes at 5pm.
The crash is now cleared, but Waka Kotahi is still advising motorists to pass with care in both directions.
Earlier today, a crash on the Southern Motorway near Greenlane caused queues of traffic and left one car facing the wrong way on the highway. The crash was cleared shortly after the collision, but motorists experienced delays from Spaghetti Junction.
