The main road to Akaroa on Banks Peninsula is reopening days after intense rainfall flooded State Highway 75.
The highway from Christchurch has been closed from Motukarara to Little River since Wednesday night.
Christchurch City Council controller Anne Columbus says the Transport Agency will reopen the road at 1.30pm.
However, there are reports motorists have been allowed through the closures since this morning.
