NZTA advises drivers to avoid Newmarket viaduct after crash
The NZ Transport Agency says a truck and trailer has rolled on the Newmarket Viaduct on Auckland’s Southern Motorway (State Highway 1).
The NZTA says the crash is causing congestion in both directions and it advises drivers heading both south and north to avoid the viaduct and use alternative routes.
The crash happened around 2pm. Two of the three northbound lanes are blocked, and debris from the crash has also spilled over into the southbound lanes of the viaduct obstructing traffic.
The NZTA says it expects the highway to be cleared in time for this afternoon’s rush hour but it says until then, delays will be considerable and drivers should use other routes.
The NZ Transport Agency works to create transport solutions for all New Zealanders – from helping new drivers earn their licences, to leading safety campaigns to investing in public transport, state highways and local roads. Follow us on twitter @nzta_news.
