Port Waikato-Waikaretu Road Storm Damage Repairs

In late January and early February 2023, two closely spaced storm events, referred to as the Auckland Anniversary Weekend Storm and Cyclone Gabrielle, caused severe damage across a vast area of the Waikato District roading network. Much of the impact was centered around the northwestern part of the district. Following the two events, over 430 reports of damage as a direct result of the storm were reported.
