Highway Closure, Warning To Motorists, Balclutha - Southern
Southern District Police are urging motorists against non-essential travel, with debris blocking a number of roads.
State Highway 1 is being closed between Clinton and Milton, while State Highway 8 – between Lawrence and State Highway 1 – could also close due to weather.
Detective Sergeant Hamish Fraser says a number of power lines and trees have come down in strong winds.
“We urge people to stay home, and not to travel unless you absolutely have to. Anyone who has to drive should take extreme care.”
