Crash State Highway 1 this afternoon between Ashburton and Rangitata – delays as highway closed temporarily

|

A crash south of Ashburton, Mid Canterbury, this afternoon will cause delays on State Highway 1.

Northbound drivers, heading towards Ashburton/ Christchurch, would be detoured at Hinds along Hinds Lismore Road, then Winslow Road and back onto State Highway 1.

Southbound drivers may be delayed a short time until a lane is opened up on State Highway 1 around the crash site.

Drivers should anticipate delays getting through this area and everyone’s patience is appreciated, said NZ Transport Agency Journey Manager Lee Wright.
