Crashes are causing delays for motorists in both Auckland and Wellington this afternoon, with lanes blocked on SH1 and SH16.
A crash was blocking three right westbound lanes, and a bus lane, on the Northwestern Motorway (SH16 ) in Auckland - just after the link onto SH16 from the Waterview tunnel.
Police said they received a report of a motor vehicle accident involving multiple cars on SH16 westbound just after 3pm.
Four lanes were initially blocked, however, these have recently been cleared.
Motorists travelling westbound should expect significant delays back to Grafton Gully and the Southern Motorway.
