The Remutaka Hill road has reopened after a truck breakdown prompted its closure.
State Highway 2 on the hill was closed following the breakdown, which happened earlier in the afternoon. Despite the road now being clear, some traffic delays were expected as the backlog cleared, police said.
The truck was blocking the road and preventing any traffic from passing through, police said in a statement.
FINAL UPDATE 6:30PM
