The highway was closed overnight at the request of Westland Civil Defence due to the heavy rain and strong winds affecting the area yesterday and overnight.
Some traffic management measures remain in place on the road, and motorists are urged to drive to the conditions.
Please check the NZTA on-line Journey Planner at www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz for the latest up to date road conditions.
