A spill has forced the closure of State Highway 73 between Castle Hill and Springfield in central Canterbury, including Porters Pass.

Roading crews for New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi are attending to the spill of diesel or oil on the highway and people are asked to avoid the area and delay their travel if they can.

An update will be provided as the road status changes.
