State Highway 1 at Dome Valley will reopen to traffic at midday after a rockfall blocked the road.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said the Warkworth to Wellsford route had been closed this morning due to an overslip, which had been assessed and was being cleared.
“We’d like to thank motorists in advance for their patience and understanding as we have worked to clear the slip.”
The large rockfall occurred between Wayby Valley Rd and Wilson Rd at 7.55am forcing its temporary closure.
The transport agency had advised motorists to use an alternative route via State Highway 16.
