The clean-up of a diesel spill in central Wellington is expected to take some time, police say.
A "large amount" leaked from a truck on Monday across roads from Wellington's city centre to Miramar and Kaiwharawhara.
"Wellington motorists are advised to take extra care around the city centre, Miramar, and towards Kaiwharawhara," police said in a statement.
"Clean-up in affected areas has been organised but will take some time."
They said to expect delays.
The New Zealand Transport Agency said they were first notified of the diesel spill shortly after 11am.
The spill was first reported to them to be around the Basin Reserve.
NZTA said it had crews out cleaning up the affected part of the state highway.
