Waka Kotahi said Wellington's Terrace Tunnel is closed to traffic heading southbound, and warned commuters to "expect delays". Northbound lanes near the tunnel are partially blocked and moving slowly.
It's been said that a protester has glued their hands to the road and is needing assistance to be removed.
"Police advise motorists to avoid the area and expect delays."

"White Fronted Terns are great little birds. They are fantastic fliers, and superb hunters, diving for fish, and having a pretty good success rate too."

The team missed 18 free throws and the opposition side narrowly won the game.
It turned out the screamer was the daughter of the star player from the winning side and he was so proud of his off-spring.
Now in rugby, the Irish are all hushed up when the opposition take a shot at goal. That could be upwards of 60,000 spectators at a rugby international. And if a spectator started to boo he/ she would quickly be admonished.
So is it sporting for a yeller to keep putting off free throw shooters in a big basketball game and be praised for it.
Well maybe in the era of Trump in the USA nothing like lying and cheating matters.
CDANZ estimates that around 250,000 dogs are chained up for their entire lives in Aotearoa. Animal welfare inspectors from the SPCA can do little for them and only in the most extreme cases can dogs be seized, and owners prosecuted, due to the resources involved.

Do we need to have better welfare rules for dogs?

If size and cover were factors, Brewtown's Farmer's Market would be ranked number one in the country. And this also takes into account train station and on-site vehicle parking convenience.

But the Upper Hutt version of a Farmer's Market couldn't make the top seven in NZ according to a recent Stuff item on the best Farmer's Markets in NZ.
The Brewtown complex has two huge covered areas sited parallel with each other for its market - one for produce and the other for everything else that one would likely see at a fair. Rain and wind are not prohibiting factors as they would be for each of the top seven named.
So it is a farmer's market with a twist. Only live music entertainment are a missing item to date.
Most of the produce comes from the Wairarapa and Horowhenua which are the food bowls of the Wellington region and marks the food as locally farmed.

Lower Hutt had the family popular lights show for a few years up to 2019 and it has been resurrected with additions to kickstart another annual highlight event at Brewtown.
So apart from world class lighting features ,experiences and attractions there will be entertainers and artists to keep those attending on their feet.
The Lower Hutt light show was a free open event paid by the Hutt City Council. The Brewtown event is partially paid for by the Upper Hutt City Council and partially from some of the funds coming from the entry fees. Most of it is under cover.
Don't be fooled by the publicised $10 an adult entry cost. It is $10 plus two sets of add-on fees if booking online and $15 if paying at the gate.
Brewtown of course offers several large restaurants so there is a choice for food supplanted with the usual meals-on-wheels.
Thursday April 6- Sunday April 9, 6.30pm-10.30pm
