INVERCARGILL, Sept. 2
A landslide at the south end of the Homer tunnel, on the Te Anau-Milford road, has cut the road link to Milford Sound.
The slip, which came down about 1 p.m., was about sft to 10ft deep over about a chain of road, a spokesman for the Ministry of Works said.
It was snowing in the area, the spokesman said, and no attempt to clear the slip would be made until the snow stopped.
