State Highway 2 between Awakeri and Opotiki has now reopened following a slip this week.

Work commenced on Friday to remove material after the SH2 Waiotahe Beach slip on Wednesday.

Contractors were back on-site on Saturday morning to continue the removal of material.

"The road is now open under stop/go traffic management and is suitable for Heavy Vehicles," says a Waka Kotahi NZTA spokesperson.

"Delays are possible. Pass with care."
