Several roads in Auckland's Onehunga are open again after a single-vehicle crash forced a number of closures this morning.

The Onehunga off-ramp, Onehunga Harbour Road and Onehunga Mall Road were all affected after the crash brought down powerlines.

There were no injuries to report, police said.

Waka Kotahi said the roads were open again at around 10.35am.

A spokesperson for Vector said the car hit a pole near Onehunga Wharf around 8.20 this morning, causing a power outage in the surrounding area.

"We understand that power outages are incredibly frustrating, but our crews are working as quickly and safely as they can to replace two badly damaged poles and restore power to those still affected," they said.

Power is expected to be restored between 6pm and 7pm this evening.
