Rimutake winds and road closure.

Gusts likely to ease for AB's test
By: Anna Cross | Latest Wellington News | Saturday September 8 2012 15:33

Wild winds are likely to ease in Wellington ahead of tonight's All Blacks versus Argentina test match.
But the gusts in the capital may prevent some rugby fans from getting there, with some flights delayed or cancelled, and the Rimutaka Hill road closed.
MetService duty forecaster Erick Brenstrum says gusts have been reaching up to 130 km/h in the city, and up to 170 on the Rimutaka road.
He says the winds are expected to ease slightly in the next few hours or so.
The Rimutaka Hill road will be closed until at least early this evening.
NZTA Wellington operations manager Mark Owen says he appreciates this is frustrating for some motorists, but their safety must come first.
He says the closure may affect travel to the rugby test in Wellington this evening.
Mr Owen says if people are travelling from the Wairarapa they'll need to go via the Manuwatu Gorge or take the train.
He says if people chose to go the gorge way, they'll need to allow an extra three hours for travel.
