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.

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
