Wellington/Kapiti: Traffic delays north of Wellington

Wellington, 27 December 2013 - Police advise that traffic heading north from Wellington heading up the Kapiti Coast is extremely heavy and delays of over an hour can be expected.

This is not due to any accidents; it is purely holiday traffic heading out of town and there is little that can be done to mitigate such delays.

Motorists are advised that they should cater for these delays by leaving earlier for their destination or delaying travel if possible. Either way, patience will be the key word!
