A logging truck has rolled resulting in delays in the Far North.

New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi say State Highway 1 near Katavich Rd intersection was now under traffic management.

Traffic should follow directions of emergency services on site and expect delays.

Police said earlier that Far North Rd at Waiharara was blocked in both directions, with logs covering the road and a neighbouring paddock.

“There are no reports of injuries.

“There are no diversions available and police are asking motorists to avoid the area or delay travel if possible.”

Police expected the road to remain closed for some time.
