Christchurch Highway Update - June 13 Earthquake
Currently the only state highway closure in Christchurch is the Anzac Bridge on SH 74, the NZ Transport Agency reports.
NZTA's Canterbury State Highways Operations Manager Pete Connors says the Lyttleton Tunnel was closed for inspection for 20 minutes following the 1pm 5.5 tremor, and again for 40 minutes following the 6.0 earthquake at 2:20pm.
Mr Connors says NZTA teams are currently helping to assess damage to local roads from burst watermains in Brougham St and Tunnel Road, and teams are were monitoring state highway bridges and other structures for possible damage.
Mr Connors urged all motorists to use extra caution on the city's roads until further notice while damage is assessed.
