Road closed after slip

A section of the Tokanui Haldane Road in Southland has been closed following a slip.

Southland District Council roading asset management engineer Hartley Hare said a 10-metre stretch of road, about 500 metres south of Graham Rd, had slipped down a bank.

The road will be closed from the intersection at Graham Rd to the intersection at Otara Haldane Rd.

A sign warning people of the closure will also be displayed in Tokanui.

The road will be inspected tomorrow.

"At this stage the cause is unknown, but there has been a lot of rain in the area, which may have contributed to the slip occurring," Mr Hare said.
