The Routeburn-Kinloch Rd will close overnight as a result of flooding in the Dart River, the Queenstown Lakes District Council says. The closure begins at 5.30pm and extends south from the intersection of Glenorchy-Routeburn Rd and Routeburn Rd, and north from Kinloch. The road will be reassessed in the morning.
