Picton is the latest town to join others in the upper
South Island with no road access due to flooding and high
river levels. A local state of emergency was this afternoon
declared in Marlborough with people being evacuated from
some areas.
Westport,
Tākaka, Collingwood, Murchison, Springs Junction and Nelson
are also currently isolated due to state highway closures
caused by the flooding with river levels peaking at state
highway bridges this afternoon.
“People should
continue to avoid driving in these areas, particularly given
more rain is falling around the Marlborough Sounds and
emergency services are responding,” says Tresca Forrester,
