State Highway 1 Desert Rd is closed today for the recovery of a crashed truck.

Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency said the road would be closed on Monday between 7am and 4pm.

The full closure is required so a salvage team can winch the truck and trailer up a bank after it ran off the road on July 7, Waka Kotahi said in a statement.

For northbound traffic, turn left on to SH49, right on to SH4, right on to SH47, right on to SH41 and then left back on to SH1 at Tūrangi.
