Wellington Police say the 75 trucks in the SH1 convoy are now on the Tawa straights with very little commuter traffic behind them.
The 160 trucks from SH2 are now at the Hobson Street overbridge. There is a gap in this convoy and the tail is still well back onto SH2. Police are liaising with the drivers to ensure the gap is closed.
General commuter traffic is moving well and in places very quiet with people travelling into the city before 7am. The roads were considerably busier than usual in the 6am to 7am period.
The CBD is expected to get busy shortly as the convoys get into the inner city Vivian and Taranaki Streets, Jervois and Customhouse Quays, Whitmore Street and Molesworth Street.
Police thank motorists and the wider public for their cooperation.
