State Highway 1 near Lake Taupō will be closed from tomorrow morning after a logging truck went over the edge at Te Pōporo (Bulli Point) this afternoon.
The road on the side of the lake will be closed from 7am while the logging truck is removed from the scene.
The road is expected to reopen between "lunch time and the end of the day, depending on the degree of difficulty encountered in the truck recovery", Waka Kotahi NZTA said.
A detour will be in place via State Highway 41 and State Highway 32.
"There are temporary traffic signals in operation on SH41 past a slip site and road users should expect delays."
