A large slip has blocked the southern end of The Terrace in central Wellington.
Wellington City Council said it happened last night at the intersection with Buller Street – a steep route that had been used as a detour by local traffic when an earlier slip blocked The Terrace.
A tree had also fallen across the road.
Contractors were on site and people had been asked to avoid the area until further notice.
The earlier slip happened in August during a period of heavy rain which triggered 670 slips in and around the region over seven weeks.
The road was then shut to most traffic and eight households had to be evacuated.
It had only recently reopened to a single lane.
