State Highway 1 northbound after the Oteha Valley Rd off-ramp on Auckland's north shore has reopened after an earlier blockage closed it during busy Anniversary Weekend traffic.

A boat fell off of a trailer and blocked several lanes about 2pm, but shortly before 4.30pm police said the road had reopened.
