Queenstown-Wanaka road reopens after slipMARJORIE COOK/STUFF The Crown Range has reopened after a slip blocked the road on Friday. The Crown Range road has reopened following a large slip that closed the road between Queenstown and Wanaka. The slip, on the Queenstown side of the summit, blocked the road shortly after 11am on Friday. The road has been closed since while contractors cleared away debris. A Queenstown Lakes District Council spokesman said while the road was reopened on Sunday, the forecast was for snow below summit level so motorists should carry chains.
