Scoop has an Ethical Paywall
SH1 Mangamuka Gorge Has Reopened
State Highway 1 Mangamuka Gorge has reopened after a slip closed the road during heavy rain yesterday.
The slip was in a new area, not part of previously completed recovery works. Previous recovery work, including slip repairs and drainage improvements, held up well to the weekend’s wet weather.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) says engineers have been on site this morning to carry out assessments, prior to reopening.
There will be temporary speed limits in place and periods of stop/go traffic management while contractors continue to clean-up the highway. Please be patient, allow additional time for your journeys and treat our crews with kindness and respect.
NZTA thanks everyone for their patience during the closure and as our contractors continue to clean-up after the weekend’s weather.
Plan for a safe, enjoyable journey. Keep up to date with:
