State Highway 2 at Putorino, south of Wairoa, has reopened after a container truck rolled blocking the southbound lane on Tuesday.
Police, fire, St John and a rescue helicopter were called to the highway near the intersection with Waikare Rd, about 8.10am.
A Fire and Emergency NZ spokeswoman earlier said crews from Putorino, Napier, and Bay View were called to the scene where the truck was blocking the southbound lane.
“There will be some traffic issues until that truck can be moved.”
While the road is open, traffic management will be in place while the truck is salvaged in stages.
