Temporary closure of Ōtaki Gorge Road
New damage to the slip-prone bank at Blue Bluff on Ōtaki Gorge Road (13km inland from SH1) following heavy rain is causing concern and the Kāpiti Coast District Council have temporary closed the area to vehicles.
In 2016 a large amount of rocks and soil came off the bank following heavy rain and required the road to be rebuilt over stabilised debris.
“We have discovered significant stress cracks in the road following Wednesday’s heavy rain which is an indication that the material underneath is still moving,” says transport manager Glen O’Connor. The road is popular with trampers accessing the Tararuas.
