State Highway Two (southbound) between Waihi Road off-ramp and Takitimu Drive on-ramp has reopened following the fatal Police shooting yesterday.
However, the southbound SH2 link road to the City Centre/ Mt Maunganui remains closed and vehicles must exit at 15th Avenue.
The scene examination is continuing.
Police are yet to formally identify the deceased and a post mortem is expected to be carried out tomorrow.
