The main highway on the South Island's West Coast is expected to stay closed this afternoon due to a slip.
The New Zealand Transport Agency said the slip came down at about 11.30pm on Wednesday and State Highway 6 is shut at the Fox River bridge.
An update at 1pm said the slip of rocks and trees was due to heavy rain.
"NZ Transport Agency contractors are clearing material at Whitehorse Hill, north of Fox River, aiming to get a single lane open by 5pm tonight," a spokesman said.
