Auckland flood-impacted road repair and recovery programme Auckland flood-impacted road repair and recovery programme

Page last updated: Friday 24 March 1:08 PM

Auckland Transport is working hard to repair the damage caused by the recent extreme weather events in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Locations that have the highest risk or safety needs are prioritised for attention.

Check below for updates on the progress of repair work in your area.

If your road is not on the list (or no longer on the list), it's because it's open, with no restrictions and safe for all to drive on.

We know that there are some locations that are causing inconvenience to residents due to detours and closed roads. We want to reassure you that we’ve deployed as many resources as possible to work on these sites to enable access as soon as possible, but there are roads that will take significant time to fully repair.

We ask for your patience as we have many sites across the region that have significant damage. Please check this page regularly for updates.

If there are roading problems with a potential safety risk (for example new slips, cracks in roads, flooding, trees falling over roads/cycleways), call us on 09 355 3553.

What you need to know

Land especially around our Western beach communities continues to be unstable. Soil saturation remains quite high so there is still a risk of further slips, and any more rain may cause further movement. Remain vigilant.
Have a plan and be ready to leave quickly if you need to, especially in areas prone to slips.
Access to Karekare, Piha, Te Henga Bethells Beach, Muriwai, Anawhata, Huia and Whatipū are compromised. Please stay away. Do not add additional pressure to these communities by trying to visit them at this time.
Do not attempt to voluntary clear fallen trees or debris, excavate slips or roads in these areas. It is unsafe. Please leave it to emergency response crews and contractors as they have safety assessment procedures in place. Whilst it can look safe, there can be stability issues in the ground beneath.
To assess damage caused by the rain to roads, we need to allow the earth below the road to dry.
It’s important to assess how much earth has moved or slipped and the depth of the damage before the repair begins.
We’ll then be working to prioritise sites and give a better estimate on how long each site might take to repair and keep the community updated with timelines when we know more.
In some places, it’s unsafe to open the road to even one lane of traffic, due to the nature of the damage, and the unknown stability of the remaining road surface.
Please do not attempt to travel through closed sections of road. This can cause further damage and risk to your safety and the safety of others.
Sightseeing is discouraged especially in Resident-only access areas. This puts already vulnerable roads under stress and causes safety risks. Access is only for those who live in these areas.
We are working hard to update information as soon as it comes to hand, but please be aware there may be some delays due to the extremely large volume of sites we are assessing.
