Blenheim / Nelson |
28 Nov 2022 Export container flows are still very much impacted for shipments from New Zealand's south island after flooding damaged roadways. Flooding now in Marlborough and road closures are creating longer trucking routes and causing delays. Repairs are underway on the main highway between Nelson and Blenheim, SH6.
