Slips have closed the Manawatu Gorge road, State Highway 3, this morning, say police.

Contractors were working to clear the road but there was no indication when it might reopen, said Sergeant Peter Theobald of police central communications.

It was possible a couple of trucks were stuck in the gorge, he said.
