Chains must be fitted when traveling over the Crown Range tonight. Motorists are advised to use the alternative route via Kawarau Gorge as some cars are stuck on the Queenstown side. Less vehicles will make it easier for crews to safely clear the road and grit it for motorists. Further updates will be made available on our Facebook page and through e-texts.
