State Highway 2 between Gisborne and Opotiki has reopened after being closed for nearly 24 hours by two major slips and flooding to a bridge.

Contractors have cleared the highway for single-lane access.

A Land Transport New Zealand spokesman said while the road is open, extreme care is needed at the slip site at Waihuka.
