Traffic is flowing again after crews extinguished a house fire near the Gardens shopping centre which caused gridlock in North Dunedin.
Crews from St Kilda and Dunedin Central were called to the scene after smoke was seen coming from a property’s roof around 4.15pm.
Police said North Road was closed between Opoho Road and Chambers Street for a period between 4.30pm and 5.30pm with traffic management in place.
A Fenz spokeswoman said at 6pm the fire at a North Road residential address had been extinguished but two crews were still at the scene.
