State Highway 1 at Mangamuka Gorge has reopened after a fully loaded logging truck rolled this morning.

The main route in and out of Kaitāia was closed for several hours today.

In an update on NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi’s website at 3.30pm, motorists were advised the gorge was
open under stop/go traffic management.
