## Resource

State Highway 1 could reopen as early as Tuesday after crews battle flood damage, clearing rocks and rebuilding eroded sections—expect one-lane traffic and delays. Meanwhile, Inland Route 70 remains closed west of Kaikōura, forcing detours via highways 7, 65, 6, and 63. Work continues day and night to restore safety, with updates expected tomorrow.
