Due to a road slip blocking State Highway 33 between Rotorua and Paengaroa, the road has been closed.
The slip is between Allport Road and Maniatutu Road including Hamurana Road at Okere Falls.
Waka Kotahi NZTA advise that detours are in place through State Highway 2, State Highway 29A, and State Highway 36, however the route SH36 for travel between Rotorua and Tauranga is not suitable for HPMV (trucks).
State Highway 33 is likely to be closed all day (Tuesday July 26) and motorists are advised to use the detours in place or delay travel.
