There are also reports of huge potholes opening up in Te Puna Station Rd and some other parts of the Western Bay of Plenty district.
Te Puna Station Rd was recently resealed and only reopened on Monday.
It was closed for a long time during the construction of the new cycleway along the river side of the road.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council's roading engineer Stuart Harvey said due to the time of year and the location of the affected stretch of road, it has been permanently shaded during the day.
"This caused high saturation levels before it was resealed. Council's roading contractor WestLink had few alternative options available for this time of the year - the only other option would have been to close the whole road long term until warmer dryer weather comes around in a few months' time.
"WestLink has confirmed that they will start work on remediation as soon as the current wet weather event clears and some dry ground conditions prevail," Harvey said.
"At this stage, it looks like remediation work could start over the weekend or early next week with sealing near the end of next week, but is weather depending," he said.
Due to a major slip and flooding the State Highway 2 Waimana Gorge is closed until further notice according to the NZ Transport Agency's website.
The detour route is along Wainui Rd.
SH2 near Taneatua between Rewatu and Taneatua Rds is also closed due to severe flooding of the Whakatane River.
