A Southland District Council spokesman said the Riversdale-Waikaia Rd in Northern Southland was closed at Camp Road due to flooding.
However, it was passable from Freshford Plains Station Rd up to Waikaia.
Holz Road had also been closed from Tokanui Gorge Road Highway.
"Given it is a no exit road there is no detour available. We will reassess tomorrow morning and provide an update."
Pyramid-Waiparu Rd is also closed, from #1394 north to around the bridge. Signs are up at Affleck Rd.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi has also advised of flooding on stretches of State Highway 6, around Garston in Northern Southland and close to Queensberry, near Cromwell.
The highway is open in both places but road users are advised to exercise caution.
