Five roads in West Auckland remain closed after floods

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Western Leader

Auckland Transport has confirmed five roads are still closed in the region’s west after flooding on Tuesday.

Part of Bethells Road towards the beach in Waitakere is washed out and not safe to use.

Spokesperson Mark Hannan said AT is looking at options for getting temporary access across nearby private land.

Mountain Road and Lone Kauri Road have slips which could take some time to repair, and two houses are cut off on Lone Kauri Road.

Te Henga Road from Falls Road to Bethells Road has slips, but there is a detour available. Opanuku Road has trees across it in a couple of places.

“There may be other roads with flooding or debris so please drive with extra care,” Hannan said.
