All lanes on Auckland’s Southern Motorway have now reopened after truck fire partially closed the motorway this morning.

Police said motorists were facing “significant delays” after southbound traffic was diverted off the motorway this morning at the Bombay off-ramp.

Motorists were detoured via Mill Rd, Razorback Rd and then back on to the motorway at Nikau Rd.
