State Highway 2 is open following flooding this morning.

Waka Kotahi NZTA advised, shortly after 10am, that the road was shut in both directions between Hot Springs Rd and Sharp Rd.

However, that alert has now been lifted, with an eyewitness at the scene suggesting the water level is now subsiding.

A caller to the 0800 SUNLIVE number earlier today states how they struggled that to get through the road due to the flooding on their way to Katikati at around 10am this morning.

'Water is running over State Highway 2 between Sharp Road and the Claymark Sawmills,” they say.

The flooding is situated along SH2. Google Maps.

Police confirm they are in attendance.

'I understand there are quite a few weather-related callouts in the BOP/Eastern area,” says a police spokesperson.

Police will be assisting Fire and Emergency New Zealand with any weather-related callouts.

"Motorists are asked to delay travel where possible," says a police spokesperson.

SunLive will provide further updates as and when information becomes available.
