Wairarapa Storm Recovery Update | Wellington News

Wairarapa Civil Defence warns of more damage reports as storm aftermath unfolds on the south coast, with many still without power and welfare teams staying connected. Officials urge residents to check on loved ones via phone or online—but strongly advise against travel to affected areas for safety. Road crews are clearing slips and debris, with some main routes reopening, though specific closures remain. Martinborough’s three entry points are now open, the Ponatahi Bridge has a 10 km/h speed limit, and Turanganui Bridge is nearing completion. Locals are calling on the regional council to build future-proof bridges, and officials have been contacted for their response. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
