State Highway 2 between Upper Hutt and Wellington has reopened after a motorbike crash.

Emergency services rushed to the motorway between Hebden Cres and the Haywards Hill Rd offramp at 9.15am.

The road’s southbound lanes at the Manor Park southbound offramp/State Highway 58 interchange have reopened after the police serious crash unit investigated.

NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) confirmed the crash site has been cleared and State Highway 2 is now open to traffic in both directions.

“Drivers can expect some delays while queued traffic clears,” a NZTA spokesman said.
