Wild weather - SH1 reopening but residents face devastating scenes at home Sun, 18 Jul 2021, 9:24AM
State Highway 1 in Marlborough is reopening and evacuated residents from three settlements have been told they can return home from lunchtime on Sunday.
But on the other side of the island, West Coast residents face heartache, with flood-ravaged streets and homes.
The Marlborough District Council said State Highway 1, including the Wairau River Bridge, was expected to reopen from midday on Sunday. All evacuated residents from Tuamarina, Spring Creek and the Lower Wairau can return to their homes from midday.
