An underslip has reduced part of State Highway 2 in Bay of Plenty to one lane.
NZ Transport Agency said the underslip, around 4.3km southeast of Tāneatua in the Waimana Gorge, had deteriorated after wet weather this month.

Bay of Plenty system manager Sandra King said the
lane closure was required because of pavement cracking. This currently extended about 200mm from the edge line, but was likely to worsen when there’s more wet weather.
