Road closures missing (NZ)
We’ve had some weather events that have resulting in flooding closing some roads around the country. These closures are reflected in other navigation apps but it doesn’t seem to be reflected in the ABRP routing. Worst case is it could result in being stranded in shorter-range vehicles. Examples are attached.

PinnedHello @Richard Barrington,
Thank you for this report! If possible, is there any timeline of when these road closures will be open again? We will contact our data provider to update this information so that it is reflected in ABRP!

Hi @Mahde. Updates are expected on the 15th of July, but no confirmed date for reopening the roads yet. Thanks. :-)

We have contacted our data provider for this issue and we cannot give an estimate time of when it will be fixed since they could have a high volume of tickets in request currently. When we do get the updates, I will let you know.

There are SOAP and Rest APIs available from NZTA. See About the APIs | NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi for the endpoints to consume this data.
