State of our roads.

[Zurdo]

Yes, case in point is the closing of Telephone Rd. This is on 1B, and the trucks rip up the rail tracks on Telephone Rd...and it became an issue between Kiwi Rail and NZTA - who pays for the repairs. Kiwi Rail says it's your trucks ripping it up, you pay, NZTA say, not our tracks. So they closed Telephone Rd for several months until the new Expressway opened and the trucks stopped using 1B. (Telephone Rd still closed) This sent all the trucks down Seddon Rd as a detour (on my commute, I use it everyday), and Seddon Rd is always a hell of a mess as it is laid over a peat swamp...so they lowered the speed limit to 50kph. Come summer I expect Seddon Rd will have some extensive work done to repair the damage inflicted.
