Update on Kapiti flooding as at 6.45am Friday 15 May
It's been a quiet night here on the Kapiti Coast.
Advice for the public:
• Rain has eased overnight – the forecast is for light rain easing with a southerly expected later today.
•
Take care when travelling around the Kapiti Coast today –
there may still be surface flooding and debris on some
roads.
• Stay away from waterways and
floodwaters - rivers and streams are still running high and
may contain debris.
• We’ll have crews out
checking roads and council infrastructure during the
day.
• State Highway 1 heading south into
Wellington is open, including both lanes on the Coast Road -
but disruption and delays are likely.
•
Surface flooding has seen SH1 reduced to one lane southbound
for a short section near Poplar Ave at Raumati South.
• The Transport Agency is advising commuters
to consider postponing their journeys or working from home
if they can.
• Matatua Road between Alexander
Road and Tui Road remains closed and will be assessed
throughout the
day.
