State Highway 94 has been affected by snow and heavy rain since the end of last week, increasing the risk of avalanches.
Milford Road Alliance said this morning a weather front had eased since yesterday, bringing less rain than first forecast.
The avalanche risk today was low and the road would now remain open overnight, with little disruption likely during the daytime on Thursday.
However, with heavy rain and snow still forecast later on, SH94 was likely to close from 4pm tomorrow until Saturday for work to mitigate avalanches, Milford Road Alliance advised.

Wednesday: Showers developing, turning to rain later
