Breakdown on Wellington motorway causing delays

There are delays for commuters heading from the Hutt Valley into the city on State Highway 2 after the break down at Liverton.

NZTA says traffic is heavy and there are queues back to Manor Park.

In Auckland a truck crash city-bound on Auckland's Southern Motorway has now been cleared.

NZTA advises all three northbound lanes that were previously closed are now open.

Earlier NZTA urged motorists to avoid the area or expect delays.
