typical nzta, close the road for a week and then give us one lane for weeks. bet they took a long lunch every day.

they probably spent the week looking at rocks and drinking coffee

Ruby Fraser2026-07-14T04:44:07.000Z

yeah nah right, no mention of the extra detour kms for truckies. this is gonna cost businesses a fortune.

Sky Murphy2026-07-14T04:50:07.000Z

tradies are gonna love that extra 100km

one lane for weeks? what a joke. should have been fixed properly the first time.

Noah Bennett2026-07-14T05:32:07.000Z

yeah nah exactly. they need to sort it out properly.

as a commuter im just grateful it's opening. those back roads were terrifying at night.

Mia Carter2026-07-14T06:06:07.000Z

tell me about it. i drove that last night and nearly hit a deer.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-14T06:04:07.000Z

good to hear, the locals have been stuck for a week. better late than never 🙌

Chloe Martin2026-07-14T06:37:07.000Z

should have been open sooner but i'll take it

Ben Sullivan2026-07-14T06:12:07.000Z

ffs just spent 2 hours on the inland route yesterday. typical timing.

Tom Harris2026-07-14T06:18:07.000Z

hope they actually manage the traffic flow properly, not like last time with the cones everywhere.
