Our crews left site around 7pm last night.
NZTA thanks people for their patience as we worked to reopen the road as quickly and safely as possible. People are urged to drive with care
Contractors have made excellent progress clearing the slip over the past several days, allowing geotechnical specialists to safely access and inspect the site tomorrow (Wednesday 28 January).
In order to ensure the safety of road users, a thorough geotechnical assessment of the site will be undertaken from above and below the carriageway. Once the stability and safety of the site has been confirmed, it will be cleared to reopen.
If you are planning to travel, please delay your journey until SH25 has reopened.
While the road remains closed, we ask that people avoid the Kūaotunu area where possible to allow crews to safely continue their essential work.
We will update our Journey Planner website as soon as the road is open:
