Transit urges caution on Northland roads

Transit is urging motorists throughout Northland to drive with extreme caution as rains are making driving conditions difficult.

Transit Network Operations Manager Joseph Flanagan says, "Storm conditions have arrived earlier than expected and the roads that experienced flooding at the weekend are being closely monitored."

Mr Flanagan says road crews are working throughout the region to repair potholes and slips as they occur to keep the state highways open.
