Auckland Transport (AT) is pleased to announce that Tāmaki Drive was fully reopened at 2.30am this morning following its closure on Wednesday night following an incident where a bus driver lost their life.

The bus has now been removed from the site and all emergency services staff have been stood down.

All modes of transport are now able to use Tāmaki Drive between Ngapipi Rd and The Strand, which was the section of road formerly closed to traffic yesterday.

All bus services in the area have now returned to their normal schedules.

AT would like to thank Aucklanders for their support and patience during what was a very challenging incident.

A reminder that the train network will not be operating from today until Tuesday morning due to planned major rail upgrades. Rail replacement buses will be ready and waiting to keep Auckland moving and train users are encouraged to check our AT journey planner or mobile app for the latest information before they travel.
