The road between Queenstown and Glenorchy reopened tonight, having been closed while engineers assessed a 2000-tonne slip which came down yesterday morning.
The slip was in an area known as the Narrows on the Glenorchy side of Bobs Cove, 16km of Queenstown.
The road was due to reopen at 6pm, but would close again tomorrow morning until noon while engineers examine the slip face, the Queenstown Lakes District Council said.

Warbirds over Wanaka
Hundreds of aviation enthusiasts turned out to see some impressive aircraft in action yesterday at a preview of the Warbirds over Wanaka show this weekend. The popular event had been grounded for the past six years, partly because of Covid pandemic restrictions. This Easter weekend it returns, with a sellout crowd of more than 60,000 people set to attend today and tomorrow. Photos / George Heard
