Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises that State Highway 1 at Cape Reinga has reopened to traffic.
The road was closed Wednesday night from the Cape Reinga carpark to Tāpotupotu Road because of a large scrub fire. It remained closed throughout the day.
A decision that it was safe to reopen the road was made at 5pm.
The Department of Conservation says the fire is now out.
