flag New Zealand’s State Highway 35 is fully open 24/7 after repairs post-early 2026 storms, though caution is advised.

flag State Highway 35 in New Zealand’s East Coast region is now fully open 24 hours a day after repairs following severe weather in early 2026 that caused major landslides and flooding. flag Transport Minister Chris Bishop announced the change, citing work since late January to restore the road, including clearing the Punaruku slip, installing new drainage, and rebuilding sections like the 40-meter-high Waikura under-slip retaining wall. flag While full access is restored, drivers are urged to exercise caution due to ongoing work sites, temporary traffic controls, and reduced speed limits.
