Waka Kotahi is advising drivers to expect delays and defer non-essential travel with SH2 reduced to a single lane on the southern approach to the Motu Bridge between Gisborne and Opotiki.
Contractors discovered a large underslip on the road early this morning, following heavy rain in the area for the past 48 hours.
An urgent inspection of the site is being undertaken this morning, and a full closure of the highway in both directions may be necessary.
Waka Kotahi will provide further updates as soon as more information is available.
