Kopu to Hikuai slip: Work continues on SH25A today

SH25A, from Kopu to Hikuai, remains closed today as work to clear significant slip sites continue.

In a Facebook post, Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said further geotech assessments were required as clearance and stabilisation continued.

"We are hopeful of reopening SH25A safely later today and will update again once more is known," it said.

The road has been closed since Friday, due to two large slips following bad weather on Thursday.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency was hopeful of reopening the road later today.

"Please use SH25 via Coromandel and Whitianga as an alternate route."
