Aucklanders urged not to drive due to Sky City fire

From Morning Report, 7:41 am on 29 October 2019

Aucklanders are being urged to take public transport, carpool, walk or cycle to help reduce congestion as the city returns to work after the long weekend and the fire at Sky City.

While much of the cordon around the International Convention Centre has been lifted, people heading into the central city this morning can still expect significant delays.

Victoria St is open as normal but Wellesley St will only be open to buses between Nelson and Hobson streets, and only two lanes will be open on both Nelson and Hobson.
