Recent heavy rain in Whanganui caused a slip that blocked a section of road on Bastia Hill.
Homes on Mt View Rd were affected by Thursday's slip that blocked the road for several hours.
A Whanganui District Council spokesperson said the slip blocked both lanes of the road outside two
properties.
"Access to all properties on either side of the slip was available via Mt View Rd or Georgetti Rd."
Around 50 other properties on the road were affected by an emergency water shut-off as the slip was cleared.
