Cyclone Gabrielle: Coromandel could be reconnected - Waka Kotahi

Waka Kotahi says travel to and from the Coromandel should be possible by this morning, with the region having been cut off for days. Dozens of roads have been damaged by slips and flooding across the motu. In Tairāwhiti and Hawke's Bay, wrecked roads - including several bridges - have trapped entire communities, though State Highway 51 between Napier and Hastings was reopened late last night after contractors cleared debris. Waka Kotahi National Emergency Response Team spokesperson Mark Owen joins Kathryn for the latest.
