Work is due to get under way on Wednesday to clear the Pangatōtara slip on the Motueka Valley Highway in the Tasman district.
In a statement, the Tasman District Council said the work by Tasman Alliance was expected to take five working days, weather permitting. Tasman Alliance is a service partnership between the council and Downer NZ Ltd.
Alliance manager Drew Hayes on Tuesday said the southern portion of the slip initially came down during the weather event of July 2021. The road was reopened to one lane initially and then two lanes.
