Wainuiomata Road, Lower Hutt (Wainui Hill) has reopened with a 30kmh speed limit.

The road was temporarily shut this evening after it was blocked by a number of vehicles that slid on ice.

Snow has also caused the closure of State Highway 2, Remutaka Hill tonight. We urge motorists to avoid travel unless necessary and to drive with care in the icy conditions.

If travel is necessary, check the Waka Kotahi website for any traffic alerts and drive to the conditions. www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz.
