What happened
In July 2022, several landslides occurred on the hillside above Eastern Hutt Road, significantly impacting the road and nearby properties.
About the project
Physical works on the project to improve the resilience of the Eastern Hutt Road corridor, valued at $27.5 million, began in July 2023. The comprehensive remediation works included fixing three major slip sites above the road and future-proofing them against any future slips.
Eastern Hutt Road fully re-opened on 15 March 2024. See Eastern Hutt Road Reopens for more information on this significant milestone.
Further work is underway to identify a programme of works to improve resilience of the wider corridor. Sign up to our Eastern Hutt Road email newsletter for updates about works happening in the area.
