State Highway 1 Weld Pass closed from Wednesday, 29 Jan to Friday, 14 Feb

State Highway 1 (SH1) Weld Pass will be closed from Wednesday, 29 January to the morning of Friday, 14 February, each night between 7 pm and 5 am for road maintenance, (see map below). There will be an opening at midnight to let queued traffic through (except for Wednesday, 5 Feb and Thursday, 6 Feb) and then the road will close again. If you are planning to take this route, we recommend either travelling outside of these times, or taking the inland route via Lewis Pass, SH7 (see map below). It's a longer journey, so you'll need to allow more time for it. Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency suggests allowing at least an additional 2 hours to take SH7, Lewis Pass between Blenheim and Christchurch.
