UPDATE: TRAFFIC BULLETIN: SH1 Mangamuka Gorge to remain closed overnight
UPDATE 5.40PM SUN 27 APRIL: State Highway 1 Mangamuka Gorge will remain closed overnight.
The over slip is in a new area, not part of previously completed recovery works. Previous recovery work, including slip repairs and drainage improvements, have held up well.
Contractors have managed to clear a significant amount of slip material. They will continue to monitor the site overnight as there are still trees overhanging the road, and the team will be out first thing tomorrow to assess the trees under better light conditions.
NZTA expects to provide an update on the closure tomorrow morning.
Our contractors are continuing to respond to a range of weather-related issues on the network, including slips, fallen trees, potholes and surface flooding.
Please drive with care, allow extra time for your journeys and treat our contractors with kindness and respect, as they work to keep the state highway network open and safe.
People can continue to check the NZTA Journey Planner website for up-to-date information on the state highway network.
