Auckland motorists are being told to expect some delays after a number of crashes and breakdowns on the motorway network this morning.
Drivers are also being urged to drive carefully and to the conditions - as bad weather arrives in parts of the country, including in Auckland.
Just before 10am, a breakdown blocked the Pātiki Rd off-ramp; resulting in a long queue of vehicles heading towards the motorway and causing delays in the area.
The breakdown was cleared almost half an hour later, but led to delays.
