Motorway fire backs up Auckland traffic

17:23 pm on 2 July 2022

Traffic is backed up on Auckland's northwestern motorway due after a vehicle caught fire under the St Luke's Road bridge.

Two west-bound lanes are blocked and emergency services have arrived. The road is now cleared but there may still be delays.

Waka Kotahi says motorists should expect delays but can take a detour via St Lukes Road.

The All Blacks are set to play Ireland at a sold-out Eden Park tonight.
