A scrub fire alongside the Northwestern motorway is making for smoky conditions for Auckland drivers.
The NZ Transport Agency said at about 1.40pm motorists near the southbound Lincoln Rd on-ramp on State Highway 16 should be prepared for reduced visibility due to a scrub fire.
"Slow down and pass the scene with care."
Emergency services are on site and responding to the incident.
A Fire and Emergency spokesman said at 2.20pm the fire had been extinguished and crews remained at the scene dampening down hot spots.
