A crash has been cleared after traffic was blocked for a time on Auckland's southwestern motorway this morning, but motorists are advised to expect delays.

At 7.05am a crash blocked the left northbound lane after the SH20A (airport) exit, Waka Kotahi said.

Motorists were advised to pass with care and expect delays until cleared.

This crash has now been fully cleared, but motorists should allow extra time as delays northbound from Manukau start to ease.

"Delay your journey or expect delays northbound from Manukau. Consider using SH1 for travel north."
