A car was caught in a slip on State Highway 3 near Urutī on Wednesday afternoon.
Work will get under way on Monday to reopen both lanes of a section of State Highway 3 in north Taranaki following a landslip in which a car was hit by falling debris. The slip occurred about 2.30pm on Wednesday, December 9, near the intersection of Mōkau Rd (SH3) and Urutī Rd, and since then traffic has been reduced to a single lane. A car was trapped by the slip but the two occupants were unhurt. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency said it is aiming to have both lanes of the state highway open by Christmas Eve.
