Akaroa road reopens

The main road between Christchurch and Akaroa has reopened after being closed by multiple landslips yesterday.

Several slips, including a large one near Little River, 55km southeast of Christchurch and 25km northwest of Akaroa, left the road blocked overnight.

However, both lanes were cleared this morning and the road reopened, a New Zealand Transport Agency spokesman said.
