State Highway 1, Rimutaka Hill
is currently experiencing rain, hail, and patchy snowfall
which is forecast to increase over the remainder of the
evening.
The current advice from NZTA is that 10
centimetres plus of snow is likely to fall and there is a
significant chance of the road closing this
evening.
Motorists having to travel over the Rimutaka Hill
are urged to plan their travel sooner rather than later, and
to drive according to the
conditions.
