A three ton truck rolled on Auckland's southern motorway on Sunday morning, blocking northbound traffic.

The truck was carrying an estimated two tons of watermelons when it rolled south of the Newmarket viaduct.

No one was injured but contractors were left with the task of clearing the debris from all three lanes.

Diggers and sweepers were used to shift the mess and hose down the road.

Traffic was diverted.
