Wellington Police say traffic on the main arterial highways and urban motorway is now flowing with many commuters getting into the city early - or choosing to delay their journey.
Inspector Simon Perry, Wellington Police Emergency Response Manager, thanks commuters for their planning and patience.
Police say 160 trucks are now on the urban motorway south of Ngauranga Gorge interchange although the convoy tail is back to the Petone Bridge.
Seventy five trucks are on SH1 - the lead ones now at Porirua with the tail reaching back at least 1km.
North bound traffic is flowing well, and the general southbound traffic appears in many places now to be quieter than usual.
