Counties Manukau Police are warning motorists to avoid the area around Cavendish Drive in Manukau after a power box outage at the Cavendish Drive/Sharkey St intersection.
Contractors are working to restore power, however power will be out for at least an hour and this is affecting traffic lights in the surrounding area.
The outage is already causing significant traffic disruption and motorists are urged to avoid the area this morning if possible.
