Summary
State Highway 1 is back open south of Kaikōura, but a 1km stretch near Hawkswood is now single-lane due to flood damage — expect 30-minute delays during rush hours. Farmers like Adam McManaway are reeling from flooded land and lost feed just as milking season begins. Meanwhile, inland Kaikōura Road (Route 70) remains closed, but alternatives like State Highways 7, 65, 6, and 63 are open. Authorities are still monitoring for more slips.
