New Zealand allocates $7M to redesign SH6 near Knights Point to fix landslide risks, with up to $123M in future funding.
New Zealand has allocated $7 million for design work on the SH6 Epitaph Slip project, aiming to improve safety on a landslide-prone section of State Highway 6 near Knights Point.
The plan includes realigning the road inland, removing unstable rock, bench-cutting the cliff face, and building a haul road.
The project, driven by past incidents like a 2012 landslide and a 2024 rockfall, is part of a broader effort to strengthen six key South Island routes.
Construction could cost up to $123 million, with $12 million already committed and $90 million expected later.
The upgrades support critical freight and tourism connections between Franz Josef, Fox Glacier, Wanaka, Queenstown, and Milford Sound.
