In Coromandel, flooding has closed stretches of the key State Highway 25. RNZ / Yiting Lin
Most roads in the Thames-Coromandel district have reopened after Friday’s heavy rain.
The region was under an orange heavy rain and wind warning as a severe subtropical storm lashed the North Island.
State Highway 25 from Coromandel Town to East Kuaotunu is now open with speed restrictions.
Wentworth Valley Road is also open but only to four wheel drive vehicles, because a ford is still flowing.
Crews are out again today, clearing slips and managing traffic.
Weather hit regions including parts of Northland, were cleared on Saturday when MetService lifted all warning as regions looked to recover from the weather events.
