An accident is causing rush hour morning chaos on the South Freeway, with traffic jammed for miles after lanes were blocked.

Motorists heading into the city are asked to consider using the alternate route of State Highway 20 to avoid the scene of the accident on the stretch of freeway between Te Irirangi Dr and East Tamaki Rd.

The accident, which occurred around 5.45am, left the right lanes blocked after the Reagan Rd bridge.

New Zealand Transportation Agency Waka Kotahi says motorists should go through the accident scene carefully and expect delays.

Police said there were no injuries in the accident.

NZTA said the vehicles involved were now clear of the lanes in which they had caused congestion on the highway for those heading north.

A live traffic map shows motorists at the beginning of the queue in Conifer Grove, and then they have to endure 12km of slow traffic before it clears at Papatoetoe.

Some parts of the trip are reduced to a slow pace.
