May 4, 2022

Commuters are facing delays on Auckland's Northwestern Motorway (SH16) after an "incident" on Wednesday morning.

At around 7.15am Waka Kotahi NZTA said all lanes are open after a section of the motorway near Fred Taylor Dr both northbound and southbound were earlier closed.

Police say they attended the incident and had closed a section of the motorway as a "precaution".

"Please expect delays as congestion eases from this incident," Waka Kotahi said.
