The Pūhoi-Warkworth Motorway in New Zealand is facing stability concerns after a major slip occurred. While Waka Kotahi, the agency responsible for the road, insists it is built to last, a geotechnical engineer warns that the gullies in the area appear unstable and landslides are common. Reports show that landslides and repairs have occurred along the entire length of the motorway, with climate change threats not factored into decision-making. Despite this, Waka Kotahi remains confident in the motorway's resilience and is currently working on stabilizing the slip. The motorway is designed to last 100 years.
