Delays into Auckland CBD after incident blocks lane on SH1 during rush hour
An incident near Auckland’s Southern Motorway is causing delays for those heading into the city this morning.
New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) said the left lane of SH1 heading northbound after Market Rd was blocked about 6.55am.
Commuters were asked to expect delays and “pass with care”.
Google Maps showed traffic on SH1 appeared to be backed up to Mt Wellington. The queues had eased by 8am.
Auckland Transport said the incident happened on nearby Broadway in Newmarket.
“[It] has now been cleared with all bus services in the area running as normal.”
Earlier, a witness said three ambulances and four police cars were at the scene.
