State Highway 1 just south of Taihape will be closed for most of the morning while a crash site is cleared.
A truck crashed at the intersection of Gorge Road and ended up on its side at approximately 2:30am. No one was injured in the crash.
A crane is being brought in to remove the truck and this means the road could be closed for up to five hours.
Diversions are in place and Police ask motorists to be patient if they experience delays.
