A slip between Ranana and Jerusalem has closed that section of Whanganui River Rd.
Whanganui District Council have been working on the slip over the weekend and hope to have it cleared by Tuesday.
The closure adds to the frustration for motorists with the Parapara (State Highway 4) still closed on Sunday afternoon from Kakatahi to Raetihi, affecting travel between Raetihi and Whanganui.
Light vehicles only are able to use Fields Track and motorists can still use State Highway 4 far enough to reach the turnoff.
Meanwhile, the heavy rain over the weekend had authorities keeping an eye on the level of the Whanganui River.
