Disruptions are creating disruptions and backlogs on two sections of major Auckland motorways – SH1 near Takanini and the northern motorway.
SH1 near Takanini
A crash creating a road hazard and the emergency services response blocked two southbound lanes on State Highway 1, before the Takanini off-ramp, the Transport Agency said.
There was no indication of how long the lanes would be closed for and drivers were advised to allow extra time for delays.
Northern motorway
Further north, all but one lane in both directions of the northern motorway section of State Highway 1 were blocked, due to a vehicle on fire, police said on Saturday afternoon.
The motorway was blocked near Moir Hill Road, as emergency services responded, but one northbound lane was still open.
Motorists were asked to take alternative routes.
