Southbound lanes are free flowing.

The Northern, Northwestern and Southwestern motorways were all experiencing heavy flows of traffic into the city shortly after 8am.

And those travelling on the Southern and Onehunga train lines should expect minor delays because of n earlier fault, the NZTA said.
