Long-term road repairs from Auckland storms Long-term road repairs from Auckland storms

Repairing the damage to our local roads sustained during the 2023 flooding and cyclone events

During the storm events of 2023, more than 2,000 slips and roading issues were reported across the Auckland region. The flood repair programme is expected to take 2 to 3 years to complete and will cost $390 million.

Reported sites and slip repairs 

  • Total number of sites: 2,000+
  • Small issues and slips resolved quickly: 1,200
  • Sites needing minor to major repairs: 811

Of the 811 minor and major repairs needed, 597 have been completed to 31 August 2024 (74%).

216 of the 811 sites are categorised as major (costing over $250,000). 118 of the 216 (55%) are now completed.

595 of the 811 sites are categorised as being minor (under $250,000). 479 of the 595 (81%) are now completed.

This month we have 24 sites in construction:

  • 19 are major
  • 5 are minor

Flood recovery statistics for September 2024

The number of sites needing minor to major repairs may change slightly over time as the design and investigation of each site develops.

Electronic flood alert pilot programme

Following the extreme weather events of early 2023, Auckland Transport (AT) is testing an electronic flood alert system at 3 key sites across Auckland.

We ask for your patience, as sites across the region have sustained significant damage. Locations that have the highest risk, safety needs or are the only access route to a community are being prioritised for attention.

In some locations, we’ve been able to provide a temporary fix, such as one-lane access for residents or the wider community, until we can permanently rebuild the road.

We understand that road damage causes inconvenience to residents, due to detours and road closures. We want to reassure the community that we’ve deployed as many resources as we can, including additional contractors to work on these sites, but some roads will take time to fully repair.

If there are roading issues with a potential safety risk (for example, new slips, cracks in roads, flooding, or trees falling over roads or cycleways), call 09 355 3553 or report the problem online.
