A bridge on State Highway 29 east of Te Poi is blocked, after a tree fell across the bridge this morning.
The tree struck a car when it fell – fortunately the driver was uninjured.
Motorists travelling between Tauranga and Hamilton are asked to take alternative routes where possible, as the road is likely to closed for some time.
