Flooding damages South Wairarapa bridge again

Noah Bennett2026-06-27T08:33:29.000Z

ffs another bridge washed out. must be a normal tuesday in south wairarapa by now

Noah Bennett2026-06-27T09:03:29.000Z

yeah nah, fixing things properly costs money and that means less for their mates

Farmer says 'we can't go on like this' – yeah nah we've been saying that for years. Council does sweet FA. Stick a Bailey bridge in and be done with it.

bloody hell, that's the third time in two years?? how many more homes gotta get cut off before someone actually fixes the thing properly

Morgan Lee2026-06-27T09:03:29.000Z

bridge would be a bandaid but better than nothing tbh

man i drive through martinborough sometimes for work and this road is always sketchy. feel for the locals stuck with this nonsense

Hope everyone's safe – that's the main thing. Bridges can be rebuilt but lives can't. Thoughts with the community ❤️

Wairarapa local here. This ain't news – it's a yearly tradition at this point. Maybe if the govt spent less on cycle lanes we'd have roads that don't wash away

Peyton Hall2026-06-27T10:12:29.000Z

That's not helpful. People are stranded and you're complaining about cycle lanes? priorities mate

Noah Bennett2026-06-27T09:30:29.000Z

lol watch them spend 6 months 'assessing' then another 6 months on a report before doing nothing

Reese Morgan2026-06-27T09:55:29.000Z

this. they'll form a working group and consult stakeholders. by the time they act the river will have moved again

Noah Bennett2026-06-27T09:42:29.000Z

RNZA? you mean the state broadcaster that never met a tax hike it didn't like? bet they'll blame climate change and call for more levies
