State Highway 62 (SH 62) is a New Zealand State Highway servicing the northeastern parts of the South Island of New Zealand. Located entirely within the wine-producing Marlborough region of New Zealand, SH 62 provides a northern bypass of Blenheim, connecting the towns of Spring Creek (on State Highway 1) with Renwick (on State Highway 6) via the locality of Rapaura. Despite being gazetted in 2004, is only 13 kilometres long, and is very flat, in 2008 it was assessed to be the most dangerous state highway in the country, ahead of State Highway 37 and State Highway 94.[1]
