Roading crews across the Bay of Plenty are working hard to clear slips and get vital transport links open fast, says Sandra King, NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) Bay of Plenty System Manager.
Significant storm damage across the Coromandel Peninsula means several state highway closures and restrictions will remain in place heading into the long weekend, with some sections expected to take up to five days to clear.
Crews continue to make steady progress at the Goldsmith slip site (the first from the Ōpōtiki side and potentially largest - approx. 110 metres high and up to 60 metres wide), with an additional 40 tonne digger on the way to boost clearing efforts.
Crews began clearing slip material at both ends of the SH2 Waioweka Gorge over the weekend, with 2 significant slips now been declared safe for crews to enter.
