Two incidents affect traffic flow in both directions on
SH1
The Transport Agency is warning motorists of delays on
the southern motorway in both directions ahead of the
afternoon peak period after two separate incidents.
There is a multiple vehicle crash affecting north-bound
traffic before the Takanini off ramp and traffic is down to

The Transport Agency is expecting heavy
traffic and delays as the afternoon peak period builds. It
thanks motorists for their patience and advises them to
delay their journeys if at all possible.
