A major South Island alpine pass will remain closed again overnight, due to the risk of falling debris.
The Lewis Pass on State Highway 7 will close at 7pm tonight between Hanmer Springs and Springs Junction, and will not re-open until at least 8am tomorrow morning.
NZTA Waka Kotahi closed the road last month due to a slip, but it has since reopened.
It was closed again on Friday and Saturday night due to rockfall.
The transport agency said further closures were possible this week.
