Officers were called to the incident about 10.40am and found the digger blocking multiple lanes. The digger was removed and the motorway reopened around 1.40pm. About 2pm NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi advised that the motorway had reopened in both directions, but urged motorists to take care as congestion eased.
