A sulphur spill from a truck has closed a main Tauranga highway this morning.
Police were called to a substance spilling from a truck between the Takitimu Dr and Waihi Rd off-ramps "near the passing lanes" about 9.40am, a police spokeswoman said.
She said the substance was confirmed to be sulphur and fire crews were notified.
The road would be closed while the spill was cleaned up.
