What about the potholes in Auckland? Council spends millions on a bridge in the middle of nowhere while we're dodging craters on the motorway.

should be out doing something useful instead of hiding in bushes. road crews doing their best while they sit around

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T04:19:53.000Z

yeah true, better leave early just in case. cheers mate

Thank god, was worried I'd have to drive an extra 45 mins to get to work. Hope the repairs hold up better than last time.

Great news for the locals! Shoutout to the road crews working in that weather, absolute legends.

How long until it washes out again? Every storm same story, council does the bare minimum.

it's always the same. patch it up and pray for no more rain. bloody hopeless

Rowan Blake2026-06-30T04:22:53.000Z

meanwhile my mate's farm is still under water and no one's talking about that. typical media

Luca Reid2026-06-30T04:57:53.000Z

bit harsh, they got it open in a few days. try doing that yourself

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T04:37:53.000Z

Wtf is this still the same bridge from the 2021 floods? Embarrassing.

Ben Sullivan2026-06-30T05:05:53.000Z

Just drove through, it's fine. Some cone traffic but moving. You all need to chill lol

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T05:59:53.000Z

k, but my commute is still stuffed and it's a joke

Ella Thompson2026-06-30T05:17:53.000Z

Anyone know if the detour is still closed? Need to get to Greytown for an appointment tomorrow.

Stuff2026-06-30T05:42:53.000Z

Greytown? lol good luck, bet they'll close it again tomorrow when someone sneezes
