Canterbury/ Otago Highways : Akaroa highway reopens, SH1 south of Christchurch shorter detour in place, Port Chalmers highway update, Raes Junction to Milton highway closed

While many highways have reopened since yesterday’s peak of the storm, in Otago and South and Mid Canterbury ice has replaced flood water on many routes. Drivers need to take extreme care. Grit has been applied in many places which also requires slower speeds, says Nic Rodger, Maintenance Contract Manager, NZ Transport Agency.
