Wellington's Mt Victoria bus tunnel is closed after a bus was struck by a falling branch while passing through on Tuesday afternoon.
Wellington City Council says the closure comes after a tree or parts of a tree fell from above the tunnel entrance and hit the front of a bus.
The tunnel will be closed overnight as a precaution.
"Engineers will be in tomorrow morning to assess," the council said.
"Buses are being diverted through the main Mount Victoria tunnel."
