There has been some disruption to traffic on the Auckland Harbour Bridge because of a multiple car crash on the northbound side on Wednesday afternoon.

NZTA said one lane was blocked and traffic was still moving on four other northern lanes, although it warned it could become more congested as peak traffic time approached.

By around 4pm it reported the crash had been cleared and traffic was flowing normally for this time of day.

No injuries have been reported.
