All roads, culverts, and bridges have been inspected, and faults logged post Cyclone Gabrielle. The community can be assured that we are aware of the scale of damage, and the time, and cost to repair. At this stage, our estimated response and recovery cost is around $800M and will take 5-7 years to repair/rebuild. How this is funded will affect the timing of the rebuild and the development of any high-level programme.
We have work priorities based on road hierarchy and known higher-intensity farming routes. These do change as/when we receive information, and when road conditions change.
Our roading team are working with our maintenance contractors to implement the initial response activities to safeguard our vulnerable network. This work can be seen throughout the network now.
Our panel of consultants are busy with investigations and designs of the recovery aspects of bigger and more complex slips, bridge works, and culvert repairs on our road network, to develop the right and appropriate engineering solutions. These often require geotechnical investigations and surveying during the design phase prior to construction. Work is also well underway in this space, but the community may see small jobs being done while large sites seem to be left alone for now.
If a road user has a query about a site in particular, and there are reasons to elevate the site to a higher priority, we welcome them to call us on (06) 871 5000
