The Manawatu District Council Facebook page has a map with the latest road closures.
Feilding is only accessible via State Highway 54.
Some roads that are closed are still allowing residents access in and out but people should drive with caution, watch their speed, and follow the direction of roading crews.
More than a hundred houses in the district have been flooded, mainly in Feilding but also in Reureu Valley, and five people were evacuated in Feilding overnight.
A helicopter's being sent up to assess the damage today.
