The remnants of the truck and trailer that plunged 10 metres off a narrow gorge into a river will be completely removed from Karanghake Gorge tonight.
The driver was lucky to survive with only minor injuries.
Emergency services were called last week to the crash site near Paeroa.
NZTA said the remaining trailer unit will be removed tonight using a crane, closing SH2 for a short time.
Waikato Transport Systems Manager, Karen Boyt, says "People should delay their travel if they can or use an alternative route between 8pm and 11pm".
