Transport agency Waka Kotahi is insisting the country's newest motorway north of Auckland is built to last, despite extreme weather triggering a big landslip which is now under urgent repair.
Engineers are working to stabilise the slow slide of a slope at the north end of the Pūhoi to Warkworth motorway, hailed by the Prime Minister at its opening last month as the "more resilient and more reliable" way north.
Reports released to RNZ show many landslides and many repairs along the entire length of the 18.5 kilometre highway.
