As the heavy rain has continued today around Hawke’s Bay, we’re urging road users to expect the unexpected – the possibility for more silt, debris and slips.
State Highway 50 has now reopened, restoring another key connection for Hawke's Bay communities following the damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle last week.
As the response to the widespread impact of Cyclone Gabrielle continues, road renewals and project activity has been able to re-commence, in part thanks to a run of warm sunny weather gracing the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region.
Over 100 structures, such as bridges and large culverts, on state highways in Hawke’s Bay have now been inspected following the devastation unleashed on the network by Cyclone Gabrielle.
As the North Island recovers from the emergency weather impacts, Waka Kotahi is asking road users to be careful, with a period of rain forecast for the eastern regions of the North Island over the next few days.
Waka Kotahi has confirmed that night-time closures of SH2 between Gisborne and Wairoa have been lifted and the road will now be open to the public on a 24/7 basis.
Waka Kotahi says contractors in Gisborne are putting in a huge effort to open up critical transport lifelines to allow essential goods and services to reach isolated communities.
