The Golden Bay Cement truck was this evening lodged at the side of Sam Wrigley St in the inner city, just off the Cook St motorway off-ramp.
The off-ramp, the second exit into the city south of Auckland Harbour Bridge, was closed but was expected to reopen after 6pm.
Inspector Barry Smalley of the police northern communications centre said the truck wasn't causing as many problems as might have been anticipated.
Mr Smalley said the driver of the truck had minor injuries.
