Traffic in Auckland's CBD is gridlocked after main roads and motorway onramps were closed because of a huge fire at SkyCity Convention Centre.

The St. John ambulance service said it took one person to Auckland City Hospital in a serious condition in the late afternoon, about three hours after the fire began.

Thick black smoke billowing from the building can be seen across the city.

Shares were down 4% at 2.30pm, about 90 minutes after the fire started, before rallying a little.
