Auckland’s Southern Motorway reopens after Police chase

The NZ Transport Agency advises drivers that a section of Auckland’s Southern Motorway (State Highway 1) northbound between the Drury and Takanini interchanges has reopened.

The northbound lanes were closed after a Police pursuit and car crash at midday.

Traffic was diverted off the motorway at Drury on to the Great South Road through Papakura. Congestion on Great South Road remains heavy and the Transport Agency asks people to be patient while traffic clears.

Southbound lanes on the motorway remained opened, although traffic heading south has also been heavy.

Traffic flow (congestion map) is available here: http://www.nzta.govt.nz/traffic/current-conditions/webcams/auckland/traffic.phtml

Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
