The Tararua District Council has had nearly $34.7 million confirmed from Waka Kotahi to repair roads in the district.
The emergency works funding was confirmed late last week, bringing the total the Council has received from Government to $44.7 million following Cyclone Gabrielle.
Emergency repair work in the district is estimated to take five years, and includes repairs to 20 compromised bridges, 551 dropouts, and over 1800 other faults within the roading network.
Council Chief Executive Bryan Nicholson said the funding gives some much-needed certainty on how to move forward.
Mayor Tracey Collis said securing the funding is key to restoring local roads.
