NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising drivers to plan ahead and take extra care with widespread heavy rain and strong winds, along with snow in alpine areas, creating hazardous driving conditions throughout the West Coast region.
People considering travelling are encouraged to limit trips to essential travel only. Any one out on the road should drive to the conditions, slow down and be prepared to stop.
Please report any issues to NZTA on 0800 4 Highways (0800 44 44 49)
