Contractors on the Kāpiti Coast will begin working to reopen a road damaged by the wild weather at first light, after its closure left some residents stranded last night.
Power is still out to nearly 400 residents in the region.
Storms brought trees down on power lines on Reikorangi Road making it unsafe for traffic. Kāpiti District Council closed the road yesterday, leaving residents either trapped at home with no power, or unable to get home.
Kāpiti Coast District Council incident controller Paul Busing spoke to Susie Ferguson.
