Motorists heading south on Auckland's motorways this evening are being told to expect delays following an earlier break-down.
The NZ Transport Agency reported a vehicle was partially blocking one of the south-bound lanes on the Southern Motorway, just before the Hill Rd off-ramp, about 4.30pm.
The break-down had since been cleared by about 5pm, but those heading home that way were in for delays.
It comes as authorities gear up for possible delays later this evening, as the Warriors take on the Melbourne Storm at tonight's NRL match.
The break-down followed an earlier issue on State Highway 1, in Kawakawa.
