Traffic update: Crash, breakdown in Waterview Tunnel causing delays for Auckland motorists

A breakdown is being cleared from the right lane in the Waterview Tunnel southbound.

A crash on the Northwestern Motorway is slowing westbound traffic this morning.

The crash is blocking the left lane coming from the port, just before the Grafton.

Traffic is still slow in other parts of Auckland as an earlier crash on the Southern Motorway and a breakdown in the Waterview Tunnel created delays for motorists.

A breakdown blocking the right lane in the Waterview Tunnel caused traffic to slow to 50km/h. The breakdown was cleared just after 7am.
