SH 1 closed after Northland crash, power lines down
A crash that has occurred near Raumanga Valley Rd in Whangarei this morning has closed the road and downed power lines.
"Expect diversions and delays," the transport agency tweeted.
"Avoid this route if possible." Keep up to date with their twitter feed here.
Cordons were in place at Otaika Rd on SH1 and at Tawera Rd and Collingwood Rd, NZTA said.
Heavy vehicles would need to use SH14 and SH15 via Maungatapere to rejoin SH1, it added.

What should the rules be for alcohol in public?
We have some proposed amendments to the Alcohol Control Bylaw, and we want to know what you think:
🍷 Have your say on the Alcohol Control Bylaw
The bylaw allows us to ban alcohol completely from specific locations, during certain times of the day, or during certain times of the year. The bans need to reflect the times and places where alcohol causes problems, and can be enforced by police. Only public places are affected by these rules, not homes or licensed premises.
In the new proposal, the city centre alcohol ban would be expanded to include the carparks at Okara Shopping Centre, Cobham Oval and under Te Matau a Pohe bridge. An alcohol ban would also be introduced at Tarewa Park.
We also propose to lift the existing blanket coastal ban that applies to public places within 300m of the mean low tide mark, and narrow the alcohol bans at Oakura, Whananaki North, Whananaki South, Matapōuri/Whale Bay and Pataua North and South - changing the ban from 24 hours a day to just at night time (between 7:00pm and 7:00am).
We appreciate your input to choose appropriate new rules!
