SH2 Karangahake Gorge to CLOSE for four hours today
following crash
The NZ Transport Agency says State Highway 2 (SH2) through the Karangahake Gorge will be CLOSED for approximately four hours today following a crash.
A truck carrying concrete slabs overturned on SH2 near the intersection of School Road at approximately 5.30am, and the northbound lanes are currently blocked, with stop/go traffic management in place.
At 10am today the road will be closed so a crane can right the truck.
A detour via State Highway 26 (SH26), State Highway25A (SH25A), State Highways 25 (SH25) back onto State Highway 2 (SH2) is in place, however it will add approximately an hour to normal travel time through the Karangahake Gorge.
Motorists are advised to avoid or delay travel if possible until the road reopens.
