Flooding in South Canterbury

From Nine To Noon, 10:06 am on 1 June 2021

Floodwaters are receding in Canterbury, but concerns about damage to Ashburton Bridge on State Highway 1 forced it to close this morning. Motorists had reported they could feel it slumping beneath them as they crossed over. Tresca Forrester is Waka Kotahi's journey manager for the South Island.
