SH73 To Reopen And Return Road Access To West Coast
State Highway 73 between Springfield and Otira is due to reopen about 10.30am this morning. People can still expect delays as traffic moves through and are asked to drive with care while hazards may still exist.
State Highway 7 between Waipara and Springs Junction, and State Highway 7A, from the Hanmer Springs turnoff, are still closed. A further update is expected on these later today.
State Highway 6 between Haast and Makarora (Haast Pass) is also still closed, but efforts are underway to reopen this area later today. SH6 between Murchison and Kohatu also remains closed.
We ask people to continue to take care on highways across the South Island while hazards such as fallen trees may remain.
