The stretch of highway between Armidale and Guyra was shut just after 2am, after a large truck rolled and spilled its contents.

Transport for NSW confirmed the highway had been reopened to traffic at about 2pm on Wednesday.
The site, near Tilbuster, took some time to clear due to heavy vehicle recovery and cleaning up the spilled load.
The driver of the truck was not badly hurt in the crash, and was not taken to hospital.
Live Traffic NSW updates indicate motorists should still drive with caution in the area.

A TRUCK rollover between Armidale and Guyra has closed the New England Highway, and there is no estimated time for when it will reopen.

The New England Highway remains closed to traffic between Armidale and Guyra, and diversions are in place.
