The vulnerability of the region's roads was once again evident after a large slip came down on Tiniroto Road last night.
The road is closed between its 21-to 43-kilometre marks until Gisborne District Council can move the debris.
A detour is in place via Parikanapa Road. The latest slip follows
a major closure on State Highway 35 at Motu after half a lane of the highway fell into the Motu River.
The highway reopened to all traffic yesterday. Meanwhile contractors are working to restore truck and trailer access at the intersection of SH35 and Kopuaroa Road after a drop-out made it unsafe for trailer units.
