SH6 Reopens with Limited Convoys | Auckland News
Description
Wanaka’s State Highway Six is finally reopening with limited convoys—up to three daily, guided by pilot cars—after days of flooding shut it down. NZTA cleared over 30 slips between Lake Hāwea and Makarora and is monitoring rockfall risks. Convoys start Tuesday, running from Makarora Village to Isthmus Peak Track, with timed trips at 7:15 AM, noon, and 5:30 PM, designed to help students, workers, deliveries, and locals while crews keep repairing the road. But with more rain forecast for Wednesday, cancellations are possible with little notice—reminding everyone that last Friday, two cars were stranded for a full day amid the chaos.
