Commuters heading south over the Auckland Harbour Bridge can expect delays after roadwork equipment broke down.

The New Zealand Transport Agency said a piece of roadworks equipment malfunctioned on the bridge overnight.

The breakdown delayed reopening lanes after an overnight closure.

Only two out of five lanes were available early on Wednesday morning, but all had reopened by about 6.20am.

The transport agency warned motorists they still needed to allow extra time for southbound travel due to "heavy congestion".
