Stuff reporters13:03, May 31 2021 KAREN CHAPPELL High flood waters on the Waimakariri River after heavy rain in the Canterbury region. Two state highways hit by severe flooding in Canterbury are not expected to reopen for at least another day as heavy rain and flooding continues to batter the region. The rain is expected to start easing on Monday and clear on Tuesday, but deep flooding on State Highway 1 from the Waikirikiri/Selwyn River near Dunsandel, south of Christchurch, meant the road was unlikely to reopen for another day. “In North Canterbury, rain is continuing and we have a number of areas we need to assess, for example SH73, Porter’s Pass to the West Coast, which will remain closed,” Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency journey manager Tresca Forrester said.
