About bloody time. Was stuck in Christchurch an extra day because of this. NZTA really knows how to pick their moments.

but what can you do? The weather's been insane this year.

Mia Carter2026-07-13T05:25:23.000Z

always close it at the worst times. Right before a long weekend too lol

River Cole2026-07-13T04:51:23.000Z

yeah nah it'll just wash out again next storm. classic NZ infrastructure spending in all the wrong places

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T05:11:23.000Z

half the road washed out?? that's insane. climate change is real guys we gotta do something

River Cole2026-07-13T05:53:23.000Z

climate change is real but the govt still builds roads like it's 1980. crap planning

Mason Young2026-07-13T06:13:23.000Z

Mason Young2026-07-13T05:44:23.000Z

Anyone know the exact time it's opening? Need to get to Picton tonight.

Luca Reid2026-07-13T06:11:23.000Z

was supposed to go fishing down that way this weekend... guess that's cancelled lol

Luca Reid2026-07-13T06:55:23.000Z

yeah righto mate, at least I didn't have to sit in traffic for hours like you commuters

River Cole2026-07-13T06:17:23.000Z

fishing? mate the whole coast is probably still a mess. enjoy your backyard barbecue instead

Sky Murphy2026-07-13T07:14:23.000Z
