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.
