NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising motorists to expect delays when using SH88 as contractors investigate the extent of damage from last week’s massive downpour.
Access to Dunedin from the north, State Highway 1, was restored early this afternoon, with long queues of traffic making their way north and south as the road opened in both directions.
With flood waters abating in Otago and Southland, closed highways are slowly reopening except where significant slips and boulders need to be removed and geotechnical advice provided on stability, says NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
The lower part of SH8 inland from Milton, south of Dunedin, to Lawrence, has been closed tonight due to surface flooding says NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
A number of key Otago highways will remain closed overnight and into Saturday morning, if not longer in some cases, says NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA).
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi advises of the following closures for motorway improvements. Work delayed by bad weather will be completed at the next available date, prior to Friday, 11 October 2024.
