Northland local road network
The Northland local road network has suffered approximately $89 million worth of damage from at least ten different significant weather events since July 2022, with an estimated $41 million of this in the Far North District.
We expect repairs to remaining major slips and road damage to take around 3 years to complete
We prioritise repairs based on:
- The risk to safety
- Where roads form the only access to a community
- Where we have the resources available
In some locations we have only been able to provide a temporary fix, such as one-lane of access, until we can permanently rebuild the road.
Please support road workers by driving slowly past work sites and being patient with the detours and temporary closures that need to be in place.
Where there are road issues with potential safety risks like new slips, cracks in roads, flooding, or trees falling over roads / cycleways, please report them to us as soon as possible.
