Police are warning motorists to plan ahead and expect delays, due to the closure of State Highway 2 through Waioeka Gorge.

There is a significant increase in traffic on State Highway 2 south of Gisborne and large numbers of vehicles through Bayview.

If you’re on the roads, please factor in delays and additional traffic – and drive to the conditions.
