South Island Roads Closed Amid Winter Storm | Christchurch News

from Christchurch News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Snow’s piling up and roads are shutting down across the South Island—SH73 between Springfield and Otira is closed due to 15-25cm of snow and rockfalls, with possible reopening by midday. SH94 to Milford Sound remains shut from Lower Hollyford to Donne River due to avalanche risks, likely reopening Friday morning. Plus, surface flooding warnings hit SH6 between Haast and Fox Glacier and areas near Lake Wahapo to Harihari.
