The NZ Transport Agency advises motorists that all lanes on
State Highway 1 on the North Shore have reopened.
The
motorway was closed for just over an hour this afternoon

Northern Motorway, just after the Onewa Road off

There is significant congestion with traffic backed

The mobile barrier on
the Auckland Harbour Bridge is being moved early to provide
5 northbound lanes and improve traffic flows.
