A burst water main is blocking access to the Ellerslie-Panmure Highway motorway on and off ramps, spouting trouble for early morning commuters.

Due to burst pipe, the Great South Rd Link to the Ellerslie Roundabout is closed including a small section of Great South Rd (southbound) from Park Ave.

Motorists are being urged to the avoid the area if possible or expect delays.

Alternative routes include entering the motorway at Greenlane or at the Southeastern Highway Interchange.

There are also delays to the 298 and 321 buses which will now travel via Kalmia and Great South Rd.
