State Highway 77 has re-opened west of Christchurch following a fire on Thursday morning.
Firefighters were called to a vegetation fire near the intersection with Davies Rd, between Glentunnel and Windwhistle, at 10am.
The highway was partially blocked as firefighters dealt with the fire.
NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi said the road was now fully clear, but motorists were asked to continue to drive with care in the area.
