Update on snow and highway situation South Island:
All state highways in South Island open with restrictions (ie carry chains and be prepared to use them, drive to conditions if roads icy), except SH94 Milford Te Anau. This will be updated at 12pm, see the NZ Transport Agency web.
Photo attached is of Lewis Pass Springs Junction road with branches brought down by weight of the snow overnight.
Saturday, 8 August 11 am. Please be aware conditions are changing, check the website or phone 0800 4 HIGHWAYS. Please note the web updates occur about 20 minutes after the road opens, so expect a slight delay.
