Whataroa half kilometre long slip closes State Highway 6
Daylight has revealed a lengthy, active slip between Whataroa and Harihari on the West Coast.
State Highway 6 north of Franz Josef Glacier was closed in the early hours of this morning as a result.
Given the depth of material with large trees, soil, rocks and streams cutting across the highway, it is unlikely to be reopened until early next week. Monday midday is the next update time.
Electronic signs advise drivers of the closure at either end of the highway – just south of Hokitika at the top of the road as well as Makarora and Lake Hawea at the Otago end. The road is not expected to be reopened until Monday 25 February - there is no detour
