"Allow extra time as delays throughthe Spaghetti Jctn area ease."
For a time, traffic was gridlocked throughout Spaghetti Junction and spanned more than 7km. It was also starting to stretch back towards the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
It was also affecting traffic joining from the Northwestern Motorway at the junction link as congestion built quickly.
