A slip has forced the closure of State Highway 6 between the Lower Buller Gorge and Inangahua this morning.

Motorists are urged to avoid the area, use alternative routes or delay travel if possible.

Heavy rain is putting pressure on the roading network around many parts of New Zealand today. Stay up to date about the status of the state highways at our Journey Planner site.

A further update will be issued later today.
