Traffic has eased on a central Auckland motorway after a "police issue" resulted in a person being rushed to hospital with moderate injuries.
A lane was earlier blocked on the North Western along State Highway 1 below Grafton Bridge, police say.
The Grafton Rd southbound on-ramp was also temporarily closed as emergency services attended, the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) said - but has now fully reopened.
The NZTA had earlier advised motorists to delay their journey or consider an alternative route, sharing a photo of heavy congestion to social media.
