Major traffic delays on Auckland’s Northern Motorway after ‘four-car pile-up’ near Harbour Bridge

A crash just before the Harbour Bridge heading into the city is causing major traffic delays on the Northern Motorway, on Auckland’s North Shore, for morning commuters.

Motorists on local Facebook pages reported it was a “four-car pile-up”.

The scene was a “huge mess”, one post said.

The New Zealand Transport Agency said the crash was initially blocking the right southbound lane between Onewa Rd and the Harbour Bridge.

The crash was “quickly” moved clear of the lanes and the vehicles were “fully recovered” by 7am but the agency is still warning of delays.

UPDATE - 6:55AM
All vehicles from this earlier crash have now been fully recovered. Allow extra time as southbound delays in the area slowly ease. ^TP https://t.co/PW5dsSeINX
