Tauranga Direct Rd: A slip on Tauranga Direct Rd has blocked both lanes and the road is closed to all traffic over night.
Police northern communications spokesman Dean Wakelin said the slip was about 500m south of Te Matai Rd, on the SH36 that connects Tauranga and Rotorua.
There is no estimation on what time the road will re-open however Mr Wakelin said due to the high number of call-outs today, people should make alternate plans.
Tauranga south: Greerton's Maleme St has been closed due to flooding.
