Milford Road Report - Update

Road Open

Low Avalanche Hazard


Comments:

A heavy rainfall event is forecast for Sunday evening through into Monday – increasing avalanche hazard and potentially reactivating the recent storm damage (slips / tree-fall).

Some broad guidance for access to Milford Sound based on the current forecast is as follows - possible road closure from Cascade Creek to Donne River Bridge from Sunday evening through Monday morning.

We will update this guidance in the 7:30am Saturday Road Report.



Weather forecast for the Homer Tunnel area:

Today: Showers then rain 

Tomorrow: Rain easing

Sunday: Showers then rain

Monday: Heavy rain

Tuesday: Showers then fine
