Adams Avenue in Mount Maunganui will reopen to vehicles by 1pm today.<\/p>\n

The key coastal route, which runs between Pilot Bay and the Maunganui Road roundabout, has been closed to traffic since 5pm on Thursday as a precautionary measure after heavy rainfall raised concerns about slope stability on Mauao.<\/p>\n

\n Tauranga
\n City Council said engineers completed assessments over the weekend and confirmed it was safe for vehicles to return, allowing plans to reopen the road today.\n <\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing reflects contractor availability, with crews also supporting pre-planned road closures for the Marra Sprint Triathlon, which is taking place in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the avenue will reopen as scheduled, authorities say the area will continue to be closely monitored by experts, particularly if weather conditions change or further heavy rain is forecast.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bay of Plenty Times 28 Mar, 2026 09:20 PMQuick Read Subscribe to listenAccess to Herald Premium articles require…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":344273,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[2948,806,82527,68589,17163,4726,42,17707,13233,43,1230,1854,63502,1865,40,38,41,39,6861,1533],"class_list":["post-353063","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-adams","tag-as","tag-ave","tag-avenue","tag-closure","tag-ends","tag-headlines","tag-maunganui","tag-mount","tag-news","tag-reopen","tag-reopens","tag-route","tag-today","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-vehicles","tag-will"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353063","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=353063"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/353063\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/344273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=353063"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=353063"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=353063"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
