A slip that closed both northbound lanes of State Highway 2 between Wellington and the Hutt Valley yesterday afternoon had been cleared and the road has reopened.

The slip, at Horokiwi just before 2pm, struck a moving car but no one was hurt, police said.

Contractors removed debris and power lines before the road reopened about 8pm.

Further inspections were taking place today to check the condition of the road.
