Has your travel been disrupted by the SH6 closure?

Reporter The Nelson Mail

A slip caused by heavy rain has closed a section of SH6 north of Murchison. There's a detour in place that sends motorists right onto SH63 through St Arnaud, then left onto Korere-Tophouse Road and continues to SH6, with the reverse in place for southbound traffic. Have you been affected?

The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.
