A truck carrying a crane broke down this evening, blocking part of State Highway 1 between Dunedin and Oamaru for a time.
A police spokesman said they were alerted at 6.36pm to a breakdown on the highway just before the Shag Point bridge.
The truck and trailer had blocked part of the road, he said.
The NZ Transport Agency earlier advised one lane of the road was blocked but in an update around 8.30pm it said the road was clear.
Incorrect information supplied to the Otago Daily Times earlier said the truck's trailer had tipped.
