A crash blocked the eastbound lane on the Christchurch Southern Motorway this morning.

The crash near the Aidanfield Drive overbridge on State Highway 76 occurred about 8am on Wednesday.

It caused a queue of traffic back to Halswell Junction Rd during the morning rush hour.

The scene was cleared and traffic flows returned to normal by about 9.45am, a Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency spokesperson said.
