While the State Highway network might be in the clear, there's still a clean up to complete around the Coromandel peninsula.
Flooding and slips closed State Highway 25 until late last night, cutting off communities between Coromandel town and Hikuai.
More than 400 millimetres of rain has fallen in the past few days.
Thames-Coromandel Civil Defence Controller Garry Towler says that's created problems on rural roads such as the 309 and Tapu-Coroglen.
He says there are large slips on those dirt roads which aren't expected to open today until they are clear.
