State Highway 94, Milford Road, is still completely blocked by slips triggered by last week's heavy rain. He said Fiordland businesses which relied on the popular tourist destination were scrambling to come up with other ways to keep the tills ticking over while the tourism income was inaccessible. A state of emergency was declared for Clutha district in Otago at the same time, but that was lifted on Friday.
