Traffic heading along SH16, Northwestern Motorway, should consider using SH1 to get to Auckland Airport and to head south.
Meanwhile, a crash eastbound on SH16 about 6.35am had also been causing delays for commuters. The crash had initially blocked the centre lane near the Hobsonville on-ramp but had since been cleared and congestion eased.
UPDATE 7.00AM Emergency services are now on-site and the right lane near the eastbound Hobsonville off-ramp is blocked. EXpect delays. ^MF https://t.co/iox2RBVkL7
