SH26 has been closed 5km north of Te Aroha as the Waikato river has burst its banks.
Police urge motorists to avoid travel in that area.
Motorists are encouraged to visit the Waka Kotahi Journey Planner website – www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz – before they travel for real-time travel information, and updates on delays, roadworks and road closures.
