Summary
South Island drivers, brace yourself—snow and floods are still wreaking havoc on key highways. A truck got stuck near Burkes Pass, and roads like SH86 are reopening while others, including SH96 at Oreti Plains, remain closed with detours. Alpine passes like Lindis and Haast still carry active warnings despite some localized lifts. Even central Dunedin saw flooding. The NZ Transport Agency urges travelers to check conditions, pack warm gear, food, water, and fuel—and always drive to the weather.
