The scene of a truck fire on State Highway 2 at Pāpāmoa is now clear.
Earlier, the truck was blocking the eastbound lane on the Tauranga Eastern Link, after the SH29A link, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said.
Police were called just after 9am to help with traffic
management while firefighters dealt with the blaze, a spokeswoman said.
A Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesman said three pumps and two tankers responded to a recycling truck on fire on the motorway.
He said the driver was safe and disconnected the cab from the trailer.
