Heavy rain continues across NZ; flooding, slips close roads in Bay of Plenty, Canterbury Sun, 3 Jan 2021, 1:16PM
Slips and flooding have forced the closure of multiple sections of State Highway 2 in the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne areas, and the storm has caused damage in Dunedin.
The highway between Taneatua and Waimana is closed due to a slip, and heavy rain has caused flooding, completely closing the road between Opotiki and Gisborne.
NZTA said there was no suitable detour available, and motorists should consider delaying any journeys.
