Northbound lanes on State Highway 20 between Nielson Street and Hillsborough Road had reopened by 8am but long delays would ease only slowly, NZTA said.
Meanwhile, a two-truck collision on the Northern Motorway on Tuesday morning was delaying southbound traffic as lanes were cleared.
In the Bay of Plenty, one person was believed seriously injured in two-vehicle crash on SH2 about 5.30am. The motorway was blocked at Waiotahe, west of Ōpōtiki, following the crash.
