Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency crews reopened SH75 south of Motukarara to a single lane just before 11.30 am this morning.
Stop/Go traffic controllers will clear waiting traffic in each direction.
“The highway should be open to both lanes early this afternoon, but drivers should expect delays as traffic is cleared,” says Steve Rusbatch, Maintenance Contract Manager for Waka Kotahi in Canterbury.
A two car crash closed the highway after 9 am between the Kaituna Valley Road and Turrells Road intersections with SH75. The Police Serious Crash Unit attended.
