Parts of the Waikato District area are experiencing significant weather conditions, with reports of flooding, large slips, and trees across roads.
Please limit yourself to essential travel only and allow for extra time for your journey.
Reducing speed, using headlights and windscreen wipers, and watching your visibility will also ensure a safe trip.

Note: There is flooding and a number of slips on State Highway 3 just north of Awakino in the Awakino Gorge. This has made the road impassable in places, and Police there are aware of some vehicles that are unable to move as a result.
Motorists are urged not to travel through the Gorge area until the slips can be cleared and the road made safe by contractors who are on scene.
