As the sun shines today after weekend floods devastated the region, Waka Kotahi is urging motorists to drive with care on some re-opened roads, with many having lane restrictions or lower speed limits.
Several state highways in the South Island remained closed after the weekend s flooding.
State Highway 65 from O Sullivans Bridge to Springs Junction and SH6 between Murchison and Nelson was reopened this morning, following the reopening of SH6 between Nelson and Blenheim yesterday.
But SH6 Murchison to Inangahua remained closed and SH63 from Renwick to Tophouse was also closed.
It may take months to fully fix Queen Charlotte Drive, the scenic road between Picton and Havelock in the Marlborough Sounds.
One GP and a nurse will be available to provide treatment and care.
Only drive if it is safe for you to do so.
