Slips and flooding forced the closure of multiple sections of State Highway 2 in the Bay of Plenty and Gisborne areas today.
And the storm has caused damage in Dunedin.
The highway between Kutarere and Taneatua is closed due to flooding, with several key local roads also closed due to flooding.
NZTA said there was no suitable detour available, and motorists should consider delaying any journeys. The agency hoped to reopen the highway through the Waimana Gorge later tonight, if water levels dropped enough to allow contractors to sweep the road.
