Motorists in south warned about driving conditions, road to Milford Sound closed after heavy snow

July 26, 2018
NZTA's avalanche control programme was created in 1983 following deaths on the southern highway.

State Highway 94 from Te Anau to Milford Sound is closed after a heavy dump of snow overnight, with motorists being warned about driving conditions in the deep south this morning.

NZTA is hoping to have SH94 reopened mid-morning after contractors have been able to get in and clear the snow.

Warnings remain in place on all the alpine passes. Snow chains are advised.
