Bridges shut, farmers on edge as heavy rain on way in Wairarapa

Jamie Fox2026-07-07T21:50:21.000Z

ah mate, not again. these farmers have been through enough this year. hope the rain stays manageable

Noah Bennett2026-07-07T22:12:21.000Z

so the council shut the bridge but still no plan to fix the actual drainage? brilliant. Nothings changed since the last flood.

What a load of shit. My cousin's farm in Carterton got wiped last time and insurance still hasn't paid out.

Grace Patel2026-07-07T23:32:21.000Z

same here mate, insurance dodging claims like it's an Olympic sport

40 min detour for a 15 min drive 🙄 guess i'll be late for work again cheers council

Noah Bennett2026-07-07T23:35:21.000Z

classic. no one ever thinks about the roading until it's too late

Noah Bennett2026-07-07T23:15:21.000Z

good vibes wont fix a flooded paddock mate. we need actual flood protection not thoughts and prayers

Luca Reid2026-07-07T23:27:21.000Z

agreed, local council needs to get their act together

Jamie Fox2026-07-07T23:51:21.000Z

yeah nah that's fair, just trying to keep positive. but you're right, more action needed

Ella Thompson2026-07-07T23:32:21.000Z

anyone know if State Highway 2 is still open? need to get to Masterton for an appointment

Grace Patel2026-07-07T23:42:21.000Z

ffs it's lunchtime and im stuck on the side of the road watching the river rise. this country is a joke.

Mason Young2026-07-08T00:14:21.000Z

@user0 nah SH2 is closed near Featherston, you'll have to go the long way via Pahiatua. good luck lol

Ella Thompson2026-07-08T00:56:21.000Z
