There are delays heading to Auckland Airport this morning following a motorbike crash.

Emergency services were called to the scene of a two-vehicle crash on State Highway 20, Māngere, around 6.50am.

The collision was between a car and a motorbike, police said, with no significant injuries reported.

However, traffic build-up
from the temporary blocking of both right-hand, airport-bound lanes at the Māngere Interchange on the Southwestern Motorway was causing significant delays for those on the road.
