A large slip is causing traffic delays on State Highway One between Picton and Blenheim.

Contractors are at the scene working to clear the rock fall at Koromiko.

Traffic is moving slowly. Northbound traffic is diverted through a lay-by area where the rock fall occured.

The southbound lane remains open.
