9:30 am update

State Highway 6 Atawhai Drive is expected to remain under stop/go traffic management into this afternoon.

Contractors are working to reopen the highway to two lanes after a tree fall earlier this morning.

The highway’s southbound lane is closed and traffic may be required to stop in both directions for short periods. Road users can expect ongoing delays until the debris is cleared.

Updates will be provided when available.

Road users can check the  highway’s status on the NZTA/Waka Kotahi website:
