Motorists are advised to avoid the Remutaka Hill due to weather conditions and an earlier crash.
One lane is closed on the south side near the summit after a truck trailer tipped just after 10am.
High winds are making it increasingly difficult to travel over the hill.
Police recommend delaying travel, taking alternative routes and extra care, driving to the conditions.
