Fire crews were called to SH74 Anzac Drive near the New Brighton Rd roundabout after a logging truck caught fire at 9.40am.
Smoke could be seen billowing from the vehicle and a long queue of traffic built up along Travis Rd.
Anzac Drive was reopened to northbound traffic only about 10.25am, a Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency spokesperson said.
However, the road remains closed to southbound traffic this morning between Travis and New Brighton Rds.
The fire has been extinguished.
