State Highway 25, Thames Coast Road, remains closed.
Our contractors are currently working to clear the 100-plus slips on State Highway 25, Thames Coast Road.
We encourage you to avoid this area unless you are a resident.
Residents are slowly being escorted through sections of the road by the contractor's pilot vehicle with caution. This is only possible in intervals approximately every hour, so expect delays if you are returning to your property in this area.
It is advised if you live on, or need to use the Thames Coast Road, that you only do so for emergencies until the closure has been lifted.
Local road closures:
Tapu-Coroglen - unfortunately the work to remove the material at the top of the slip was unsuccessful, therefore work will continue tomorrow and the road will remain closed until the work can be completed (contractors are expecting this to be tomorrow afternoon). The road is closed approximately three kms in from the Tapu side and 200 meters in from the Coroglen side.
Black Jack Road is open to one lane at approx 1km from SH25 (Kuaotunu side of Blackjack Road Hill).
Sailors Grave Road - open to one lane 100m south of turnoff on ocean side where a slip has undermined the road - caution is required.

SH25 near to Sailors Grave Road, Pumpkin Hill - due to a washout on this section of the State Highway, stop/go traffic management is now in place. Expect delays or avoid the area if possible.
SH25 2km South Of Blackjack Rd, Kuaotunu - due to a large slip on this section of State Highway the road is reduced to one lane under stop/go control.
The slip at Kuaotunu Hill (SH25) is being cleared so the road is now open to one lane with stop/go traffic management in place. Expected resolution - 6pm tonight.
