Wellington commuters are facing kilometres of bumper-to-bumper traffic after two crashes within half-an-hour on State Highway 2.
Motorists are being warned to expect significant delays heading into the city following a two-car collision just before the Ngauranga off-ramp and one after the Dowse interchange.
Transport Agency says one lane remains blocked following the first crash, with traffic queuing as far back as the Melling intersection.
Emergency services were called to the first two-vehicle crash just before 8am on Monday, followed by a nose-to-tail around 8.20am.
A police spokesperson said one person sustained injuries in the first crash near Ngauranga and one vehicle remains to be towed.
The Transport Agency said the right southbound lane remains blocked at Ngauranga with contractors, tow vehicles, and emergency services on-site.
“Take extra care when passing and continue to expect significant delays as traffic is queued back past Melling intersection.”
