NZTA to monitor SH1 north of Kaikōura for heavy rain

From Morning Report, 7:21 am on 15 December 2017

State Highway 1 north of Kaikoura will reopen today after being closed for more than a year because of the damage caused by last November's earthquake. It's been a long road to get the highway back up and running. The Transport Agency's earthquake recovery manager Tim Crow tells Kim Hill they'll be monitoring the area to see how it reacts to heavy rain and the ocean's impact on the new sea wall.
