An earlier release stated the road had been cleared and traffic was flowing both ways.
This information was incorrect and the road is expected to be closed for some time while the scene is cleared.
Police are assisting Fire and Emergency NZ at a truck fire on the Waikato Expressway, Taupiri.
Police were notified at about 9:30pm and are assisting with traffic control.
No one is reported to have been injured in the incident.
Motorists are advised to take the Taupiri interchange and travel via the Huntly township to avoid traffic build up and significant delays.
