We are continuing to urge all road users to avoid non-essential travel in the upper North Island if they can, following red and orange warnings issued by Metservice.
These remain in place for Northland, Auckland, Coromandel, and parts of Bay of Plenty and Gisborne.
If you need to travel in affected areas, please check the Waka Kotahi Journey Planner before you leave.

Waka Kotahi Journey Planner is updated 24/7 by our traffic operations centres, and is the best source of the most recent and reliable information available on state highway closures and disruptions. Remember to refresh the page when checking the status of highways to ensure that the latest updates are displayed.
As the weather event continues to unfold, please expect the unexpected. While our priority is to keep roads open and minimise disruption, we are also focused on the safety of road users and contractors, so roads may close at short notice.
Heavy rainfall this morning around Auckland has seen severe surface flooding and closures on parts of the state highway network and onramps and offramps also affected. Please continue to drive to the conditions and check our Journey Planner or Twitter feed for updates.
