Earthquake ravaged SH1 north of Kaikoura to reopen before Christmas, NZTA confirms

November 3, 2017

Work and repairs are ongoing on State Highway 1 after numerous landslides and uplift.

State Highway 1, north of Kaikoura, will reopen on December 15 this year.

The reopening of SH1 will restore the coastal highway link from Picton to Christchurch.

The NZ Transport Agency confirmed the reopening date today.

A huge landslip blocked the coastal highway following the massive November 2016 Kaikoura magnitude 7.8 earthquakes.
