South Island Roads Closed Due to Weather | Christchurch News

Roads in the South Island are chaos—multiple major highways shut down due to slips, floods, and a diesel spill. SH67 between Hector and Mokihinui, SH65 between O’Sullivans Bridge and Springs Junction, and SH6 between Makarora and Lake Hāwea are all closed, with detours or escorted convoys as your only options. In Canterbury, a crash has blocked SH1 north of Ashburton, while in Otago, a diesel spill has closed SH1 north of Dunedin—no big rigs allowed on the detour. Stay alert and plan ahead if you’re hitting the road. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
