Find out about our resilience work along the Easter Hutt Road transport corridor
About the project
In July 2022, several landslides occurred on the hillside above Eastern Hutt Road, significantly impacting the road and nearby properties.
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.
With the increasing frequency of weather events it is important to improve the resilience of key routes to reduce the likelihood of future slips.
We are now finalising the next stage of necessary works for Eastern Hutt Road, community feedback and experience is helping shape how we will deliver this work.
We'll keep the community informed every step of the way, share information as soon as it's available, and give as much notice as possible before any major works begin.
