Key State Highway Routes Closed Due To Flooding Otago/ South Canterbury – 10.30 Am Update
Flooding is keeping a number of southern routes closed this morning in Otago and South Canterbury.
With rainfall easing off over South Canterbury, the St Andrews highway, SH1, south of Timaru could re-open in the next few hours, says Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency.
However, rainfall is forecast to continue over Otago until mid-afternoon meaning that closures and flood warnings may not change until rain and river levels subside.
